Utility Worker electrocuted

A man working from a truck mounted lift on the Fort Hamilton Army base in Brooklyn, New York, was electrocuted on Saturday after touching a live power line.

Steve Clayton, 46, was employed by Eastern Electric, and was working at the top of a pole, when one of the wires is reported to “have struck him”. A co worker lowered the platform to the ground and he was taken to hospital by ambulance where he died.
