A tree worker died yesterday, in Springfield, Florida after contacting overhead power lines while working from a trailer lift. 

The tree worker was trimming trees close to overhead power lines

The man, 35, was using a 13 metre Biljax 3522A articulated platform, and was, we understand working alone. He was found dead in the platform by the emergency services, after the incident was reported. Police are investigating the incident.

It appears that the man took the platform too close to a pole mounted transformer and power lines
