LYNNWOOD — A boom crane operator died Thursday afternoon at a construction site when the crane’s cable struck a power line.
The operator’s name was withheld pending notification of next of kin, said Leon Reichle, the Snohomish County medical examiner’s chief investigator.
The incident happened at a construction site on 55th Avenue W. The cable struck the power line while the operator was unloading supplies from a delivery truck, Reichle said.
The Snohomish County sheriff’s office and the state Department of Labor and Industries are investigating.
