On 6/11/2025, a lineman was removing a dead tree off of a powerline that had fallen due to thunderstorms. The employee cut the top of the tree to lessen the weight of the tree. He then hooked a jib line to the tree to lift it off the power line and place it on the ground. As he was moving his bucket into position, the tree shifted and fell, and the powerline released its tension. This caused a whipping effect and either the power line or the jib rope struck the employee's jaw. The employee was hospitalized with two fractures to his lower jaw.
