Paddy Rice died as he got out of his truck that had touched overhead power lines, a court hears.
A farm in Devon has been fined £60,000 after a tipper truck driver died when he was electrocuted on its land.
Mr Rice was described by his family as a "kind, hard working man who is dreadfully missed" and he had been a "very experienced sensible driver". He also said it was open to misinterpretation which side should be used of a log pile where Mr Rice had been told to put the stones.The court was told health and safety standards at the farm had usually been "far in excess of farming standards", and it relied on external health and safety advisors.
However, Judge Smith said that on this occasion, safety measures had not been adhered to and Mr Perrott had not given due regard to the power lines in the area around the log pile.
