Northeastern Power Company · Struck against stationary object

The injured person was removing a plug to drain the pump on the water truck at the end of the shift. The PTO was engaged. The wind caught the persons jacket & blew it into the PTO. This yanked him into the truck chassis. He was able to tear his jacket free before more serious injury took place.
