Man electrocuted by 11,000 volts in farmyard accident, inquest told

A family who lost their "top man" after he was electrocuted by 11,000 volts while helping out an old friend have said their lives will never be the same.

Jonathan Huw Howells, known as Huw, died on November 8, 2020 after the telehandler he was operating came into close proximity to overhead power lines at Dan y Coed Farm in Llawhaden, Narberth, an inquest has heard.

The 61-year-old never touched the power cables but the electricity "jumped the gap" to the metal boom of the machine and travelled towards the ground through Mr Howells.
