Another electrocution

A man was electrocuted while working from a truck mounted lift in Crownsville, Southern Maryland on Thursday.

When firefighters arrived on the scene the man was apparently already dead, having come into contact with overhead power lines while working from a bucket truck. He was apparently employed by a contractor working for one of the cable companies and was working on communication cables. The rescue team said that "the electrocution was significant."

The Maryland Occupational Safety and Health is investigating the incident.
