A farm worker sustained severe injuries after getting an electric shock while working for one of the largest potato growers in the UK.

David McMullan was working with irrigation equipment at Crouchmoor Farm in Littleport, Cambridgeshire in October 2009. As he lifted one of the irrigation pipes it made contact with the 33,000 volt overhead power line.
