Last August, Jeunelle Robinson, 31, was on her lunch break when a vehicle struck a power line and brought down the pole. She had grabbed lunch and was returning to her vehicle to get back to school.

According to court documents, Robinson died when the pole snapped and "collided with her head with bone-shattering force as she attempted to avoid it." The entire incident was captured on surveillance video. Robison was a social studies teacher at Wagener-Salley High School.
