BRIEF: Tree Trimmer Electrocuted In East Haddam (CT)

Published in: The Hartford Courant, Connecticut
Date: 10/22/2007

Oct. 22--EAST HADDAM -- Police have identified a man killed while cutting tree limbs Monday morning as Peter Sokolovsky, 36, of Brooklyn, Ct.

State police said Sokolovsky was working on the ground in front of a bucket truck when the boom, or lift, either came in contact with or in close proximity to live power lines. An electrical surge traveled from the power lines to the truck to the victim.

Sokolovsky was working for ABC Tree Services as part of a five-man, two-truck crew hired by CL&P to trim trees along North Moodus Road, police said. They are still investigating his death.
