Downed power lines can be caused by a variety of factors, such as severe weather conditions like strong winds or lightning strikes, vehicle accidents, or equipment malfunctions.
Downed power lines are extremely dangerous and can be fatal. The risk of electrocution is high, as even low-voltage power lines can carry enough electricity to cause serious injury or death.
If you see a downed power line, stay away and do not touch it. Call your local power company or emergency services immediately to report the issue.
Survivors of electrocution from downed power lines may not experience any immediate shock, as the electricity may have already passed through their body. However, they are still at risk for serious injuries and should seek medical attention immediately.
The best way to protect yourself from downed power lines is to always assume they are live and stay away from them. If you are in a vehicle and encounter a downed power line, stay inside the vehicle and call for help. If you are outside, keep a safe distance of at least 30 feet and warn others to stay away as well.
