An electrical worker was left literally hanging for his life after an 18-wheeler truck crashed into the vehicle he was working on.

The accident occurred in Louisiana, U.S.A., while the man was carrying out maintenance on a streetlight.

Caught on camera and shared by GMA 7's '24 Oras Weekend,' the footage showed the worker suspended high above the road as the incident unfolded.

Without warning, an 18-wheeler truck suddenly came through and slammed into the boom truck supporting him at that moment.

His lifting mechanism was wrecked, and he was flipped upside-down in the middle of the busy road.

He was immediately helped by his co-workers and they managed to bring him down.

Thankfully, he wasn't seriously hurt because he was wearing safety gear at that moment.

Wearing safety gear at work is very important because it helps protect you from getting hurt.

Helmets, gloves, boots, and other gear can prevent serious injuries if accidents happen.

It also helps you do your job safely and shows that you follow safety rules.

Simply put, safety gear can save your life.
