Narrative

An employee was working on a power line from a bucket truck moving wire lines from an old pole to set a new pole when the old cross arm braces broke and live electric wires fell on his right shoulder/arm. As a result of the two phased electrical contact flash, the employee suffered a second degree burn on the right shoulder and right side of his body and was hospitalized.
