Narrative

An employee was removing wiring from deactivated poles. As the employee got to the top of the pole, the other pole that was connected by the wires gave way and pulled the pole the employee was on top of down. The employee fell approximately 15-20 feet and was hospitalized for a fractured left hand and lacerations. His left middle finger was surgically amputated at the first knuckle.
