From AGI: An activist protesting against the proposed high-speed train line (TAV), Luca Abba, has fallen from a high voltage mast close to Baita Clarea. The man is reported to have suffered burns to various parts of his body as a result of an electric shock. He also suffered several forms of trauma after falling from a height of 15 metres and has been taken to Turin's Centre for Orthopaedic Trauma.

This man climbed the high voltage pylon and touched the electric power line.
