Narrative

On July 2, 2025, the injured employee was installing new guide wraps while redoing a driveway. A truck struck a 40-foot wooden electrical pole while backing out of the driveway. The pole partially broke. Another guide pole across the street began cracking and a crew came to address it. While pulling the guide pole out, it broke and slid down the guidelines. It struck the injured employee on the head and back but did not land on top of the employee. The employee sustained a laceration to the head and compression fractures to the lower back.
