Video of 18-Wheeler Hitting Electrical Worker in Louisiana

(Denham Springs, Louisiana) - A shocking video of an 18-wheeler hitting an electrical worker in southeastern Louisiana was published on social media.

WBRZ shared a video of the truck hitting the bucket as the worker was being hoisted up in it while working at an intersection. Bill Atkinson's dash camera captured the footage of the incident.

You see the truck turn as the worker is in the bucket, and soon after, the truck hits the bucket so hard that it shatters, leaving the worker hanging upside down while his co-workers look on.

It appears that the worker was wearing his safety gear, and it may have saved his life in this freak incident.

How did the truck driver not see the workers and trucks? That's what many are asking on social media.

WBRZ reports that they reached out to the Denham Springs Police Department for more information on the victim and whether the driver of the 18-wheeler will face any charges.
