Narrative

Employee was pulling an existing 90 foot utility pole with a digger derrick truck. The employee was rotating his boom to the drivers side of the truck when the weight started causing the passenger side outriggers to come off the ground. He then boomed down & winched off lowering the pole but it flipped the truck throwing the employee off.
