   CARTHAGE, Ind. (AP) -- Authorities say an Ohio man was fatally

shocked when the semitrailer he was driving touched power lines at

a central Indiana demolition site.

   Rush County Coroner Ann Moster said Friday that 48-year-old Gary

D. Colvin of Eaton, Ohio, was pronounced dead shortly after

Wednesday afternoon's accident at the former Carthage Mill.

   A construction worker who was helping demolish the old paper

mill about 30 miles east of Indianapolis told police the accident

happened just after Colvin's semitrailer contacted the power lines

as it was dumping a load of metal.

   Police say Colvin was fatally shocked as he was leaving truck.
