Final narrative
An employee was cutting a service line from a transformer pole to a residence's pole. He was working from a ladder secured to the pole. When the wire was cut, the release of tension caused the pole to split at ground level. The employee was strapped to the pole and fell approximately 20-25 feet to the ground. The employee suffered a brain bleed, concussion, and fractures to an orbital bone and wrist.
