Downed power lines are usually caused by a broken pole. Poles can break due to age, vehicle impact, or most commonly, when a tree falls on a line, placing extreme weight on the pole.
Often, these downed lines are still energized, even when on the ground. Anything in contact with the line—such as trees, fences, or even the ground—can also become energized and deadly.
Electricity can travel up to 35 feet—or more—through the ground, and 70 feet or more in wet conditions.
