This is really sad and close to home. I’m thinking the powerline worker would’ve known that live wires on the vehicle would’ve been a problem with him stepping out and becoming the path the ground. It was probably just a knee-jerk reaction. Electrocution is one of our focus four. We have too many workers killed by the powerlines each day. Powerlines actually account for 46% of our country’s workplace electrocutions. Stay away from them … and if they are on your vehicle, do not step out until they are deenergized!
