Final narrative
An employee was attempting to pick up a roll-off container with hoisting cables when the hook on the container broke and the hoisting cable flew up and over the employee's tractor truck, contacting the overhead power lines. The controls on the truck became energized in the employee's hand, and he suffered first degree burns to his right hand and foot.
