According to Chinese media, including Jimu News, a cement utility pole suddenly collapsed and hit a pedestrian in downtown Wenchen County, Longnan City, Gansu Province.
According to the video at the time, four family members, including two children, were walking. The man, who appeared to be the father at the back, tried to duck as the wires fell to the ground, but collapsed after being shocked by the telephone pole.
He was taken to the hospital, where he suffered multiple fractures to his head and body and underwent emergency surgery.
He has now been transferred to the intensive care unit, but he is reported to be in a critical condition.
The cement pole was found to be owned by a telecommunications company and has not been used for a long time.
It seems that there was no gust of wind at the time.
The telecommunications company said it would compensate for medical expenses.
Police and authorities are investigating the cause of the accident and are looking into whether the telecommunications company has fulfilled its responsibility for maintenance and management.
