Man flipped from platform

A linesman is in serious condition after falling around five metres from a bucket truck after it was clipped by a passing truck yesterday.

The man was working on overhead power lines over a road near Ellisville, Missouri, when a tractor trailer tried to pass underneath and struck the platform. The linesman is being treated for head and torso injuries. So far these are the only details we have.
