Narrative

Employees were working on storm repairs to power lines. Frozen components of the crossarms of the power line supports failed; the primary conductors broke and fell against a tree and onto the ground. A ground crew member was struck in the head by either a section of a tree limb, communications cable, or one of the broken primary conductors. The employee sustained blunt force trauma to the head.
