A Pike crew working for another Utility found this child while conducting (see photo on alert) a CIRCLE OF SAFETY of the company truck the crew members were driving.
Just think about what would have happened if the employee had gotten in the truck and drove off without doing a walk around.
This crew has also reported children climbing into the back of company vehicles.
Keep in mind, children will be out of school on summer break soon so be sure to watch out for them!
Please share this eye opening, bone chilling photo and experience with your work groups.
