Investigation Summary
On May 10, 2005, six employees were replacing old power poles with new poles at a job site. As an operator on the pole truck was off loading a pole from the line truck, the boom of the line truck contacted the primary power line directly above it. Employee #1, who was leaning against the back of a truck, was electrocuted when this contact occurred. Employee #1 went into cardiac arrest at the scene and died enroute to the hospital.
