Ulrich John was killed when a utility pole fell on him in Rousillac.

TSTT says it is cur­rent­ly in­ves­ti­gat­ing the un­for­tu­nate cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the in­ci­dent in which Ul­rich John was in­jured and sub­se­quent­ly suc­cumbed to his in­juries.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are un­der­way in­to the ac­ci­den­tal death of the Aripero man who was killed by a falling util­i­ty line on Mon­day.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, UJohn was in Rousil­lac Vil­lage vis­it­ing his moth­er around 10 am when dis­as­ter struck.

Eye­wit­ness­es told po­lice that he was just about to en­ter his moth­er's yard along Vir­ginia Av­enue when a truck be­long­ing to Massy Stores was head­ing along the South­ern Main Road.

The truck ac­ci­den­tal­ly got hooked up to some low ly­ing TSTT ca­bles, pulling them down.

TSTT has is­sued a state­ment ex­press­ing "sin­cere con­do­lences" to John's fam­i­ly and "as­sures that this in­ci­dent will be thor­ough­ly in­ves­ti­gat­ed".

It says that at this time, TSTT has no fur­ther com­ment as the in­ves­ti­ga­tion is in progress.
