Investigation Summary
A power line worker was operating a Hi-Ranger aerial lift (Model No. 5TD). The employee was replacing a streetlight over an interstate highway. He lowered the aerial lift with the old streetlight and began raising the aerial lift with the new light. The upper boom dropped suddenly, and the employee's midsection struck the edge of the platform. He later died from internal injuries, including a ruptured liver.
