The owner of a tree care company died on Wednesday in Loyall, Kentucky - to the south east of Louisville - when the platform of his bucket truck came into contact with overhead power lines.
The man Brian Todd Collins, 46, was founder and owner of Collins Tree Service and an ex coal miner. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Harlan County coroner Philip Bianchi issued a statement saying that he is conducting a investigation into the incident.
Collins leaves behind a wife, three children, two grandchildren, with a third on the way, his parents, two sisters and a grandmother.
