We lost a pumper yesterday here in Colorado. He was new to this game and made a fatal mistake. Keep your eyes up and watch for power lines guys!!! Be safe!!! My heart goes out to his family and the guys he worked with.

DENVER (CBS4) – A man died after being hurt in a late night work accident in Denver.

The incident happened on South Galapago between Santa Fe and Mississippi.

The man may have been working in a concrete truck when he hit a power line.

He was severely shocked, and officials announced on Thursday that he died.

His name has not been released by authorities.

Was the operator killed, or a coworker?
