## Narrative

An employee was working on a rig site when a thunderstorm struck the area. Because of extremely high winds, the rig was shut down and everyone was told to go to the muster area. A trailer turned over on its side and struck an electrical line at the muster area, energizing the trailer. When the employee reached the muster point, he contacted the trailer and was electrocuted, requiring hospitalization.
