Crane Touches Overhead Wires, Kills One and Injures Two

On January 10, 2002, Employees #1, #2 and #3, all carpenters with T & M General Contractors were on a jobsite where a hydraulic truck crane had just finished setting trusses for a new single-family home. The crane operator swung the boom 180-degrees, in order to place it back in the cradle prior to leaving the site, when the six-foot long double loop wire rope sling hanging from the load ball hook contacted a 7.2-kv overhead line. The rear tires of the truck caught fire, Employees #1, #2 and #3 tried to extinguish the flames by throwing sand on the tires, they received electrical shocks. Employee #1 died from electrocution, Employee #2 was hospitalized as a result of unspecified injuries received from electrical shock and Employee #3 received treatment for burn injuries but did not require hospitalization.
