The incident occurred at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Main Street around 10 a.m. local time. The worker, identified as John Smith, was carrying out routine maintenance on electrical lines when a truck reportedly failed to stop at a red light, striking the worker and causing him to be suspended in the air by his safety harness.
The driver of the truck, whose name has not been disclosed, claims that the brakes malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to skid into the intersection. Emergency services were quick to respond to the scene, rescuing the worker and transporting him to the nearest hospital. Mr. Smith is currently in stable condition and is being treated for minor injuries.
