A repairman for a communications company was electrocuted recently while fixing a damaged telephone pole in a Massachusetts community. Steve Buckman, who had worked for Verizon for 25 years, was part of a crew fixing a pole that had been damaged in an earlier traffic accident. He somehow came in contact with a power line. The local fire department responded to a report of the worker receiving a shock. Buckman was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
