Louisiana Electrical Worker Dangling After Semi-Truck Hits Bucket Truck

News summary

In Denham Springs, Louisiana, a utility worker was left dangling upside down in a bucket truck after an 18-wheeler struck the truck while the worker was performing traffic light repairs. Dashcam footage captured the dramatic incident, showing the worker nearly falling but remaining secured by a safety harness, which likely prevented serious injury. The worker suffered only minor injuries and was not hospitalized. The semi-truck driver reportedly did not realize how low the bucket was and stopped after the collision. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has taken over the investigation, as the traffic light is state-operated, while local officials noted that both the truck driver and the road crew may share responsibility. Safety protocols, including the use of harnesses and lane signage, were highlighted amid the ongoing investigation.
