Shocking Pruning
Ismael
drove his truck into a mailbox. It bounced off and collided with an electric
power pole, flipping the Toyota onto its side and knocking down the power lines.
Ismael climbed from the truck to survey the situation -- then pulled out a pair
of pruning shears. He reached up and clipped the cable lying across his truck --
and was electrocuted when the shears severed the 7500-volt cable, which poked
his rib cage, allowing the current to travel across his heart and out his left
foot.
Ismael
was found lying motionless on the power line, with a pair of pruning shears in
his hands. His dazed passenger survived to be arrested on an unrelated warrant.
