An incident occurred in Samrong Thap District, Surin Province, on December 4, at approximately 15.00, when a crane operator was severely injured after the crane’s arm came into contact with high-voltage power lines while unloading pipes from a truck.

 

Rescue teams from Sawang Non Narai Foundation and the emergency unit of Kra Om Subdistrict Administrative Organization quickly transported the injured operator to Samrong Thap Hospital for treatment. The operator had been thrown off the truck and was unconscious and suffered burn injuries.

 

Local police from Samrong Thap Police Station, along with officials from the Provincial Electricity Authority, were dispatched to investigate the scene.

 

According to eyewitnesses, the crane operator was unloading pipes for a customer in Ban Na Thung, Kra Om Subdistrict, intended for a construction project. During the process, the crane’s arm struck overhead high-voltage wires, causing the operator to be shock. The truck was fitted with metal stabiliser legs, which is believed to have allowed a path for the electrical charge.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the incident and to ensure safety protocols are reviewed to prevent similar accidents in the future.
