Carthage - Authorities say an Ohio man was fatally shocked when the semitrailer he was driving touched power lines at a central Indiana demolition site.
Rush County Coroner Ann Moster said Friday that 48-year-old Gary D. Colvin of Eaton, Ohio, was pronounced dead shortly after Wednesday afternoon's accident at the former Carthage Mill.
A construction worker who was helping demolish the old paper mill about 30 miles east of Indianapolis told police the accident happened just after Colvin's semitrailer contacted the power lines as it was dumping a load of metal.
Police say Colvin was fatally shocked as he was leaving truck.
