Narrative

A Smyrna Ready Mix delivery driver was delivering concrete to a job site. He backed his truck up to a pump truck, then began preparing it to transfer the concrete. The pump truck's boom moved and came into contact with a power line, which broke and fell onto the employee's delivery truck. The employee was knocked to the ground and suffered electrical burns to both arms and both feet.
