Narrative

A mobile crane was moving a metal shed. An employee was on the ground guiding the shed. The EE on the ground was contacting the metal shed when the crane came into contact with a 13.8 KV powerline. The EE on the ground received an electric shock and fell to the ground. This caused an entrance wound to his hand and exit wound on toe.
