Electrocuted truck driver was Waimanalo man

Advertiser Staff

A truck driver electrocuted in an apparent industrial accident Saturday in Wai'anae was identified today by the Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office as Aaron Pedro, 33, of Waimanalo.

Pedro was dumping a load of coral rock on Puhawai Street from a semi-trailer truck when a section of the vehicle apparently hit high-powered electrical wiring on a utility pole, knocking some wires down to the ground.

Pedro appears to have stepped on live wires.

Police have classified the case as an unattended death pending autopsy findings Monday.
