Fatal power line accident in Hawaiian Beaches

[kander]

Just in case you have never been told, Never leave the vehicle or machinery when charged with live downed wires. Maybe this is not taught in drivers ed everywhere.

Even if your car is on fire?

It seems the article said it was the woman that caught fire after exiting the vehicle. Which is a horrific. The truck looked like it had not caught fire. Im sure there was a lot of panic involved.
The power lines are supposed to trip when presented with a short. it appears that didnt happen either.
