Dramatic moment worker is almost hit by falling powerline as firm slapped with huge fine
Dramatic footage captured the moment a worker narrowly avoided being struck by a live power cable after it fell on a motorway.
During the second incident, on January 21 2019, a Kier tractor struck an overhead cable which led to an unmarked 11kV powerline being hit and snapped by an oncoming lorry. HSE found inadequate planning from Kier meant the vehicle used in the first incident was unsuitable, despite other more suitable vehicles being available.
