Treat fallen overhead lines as live. Keep clear, warn others and call 999 for immediate danger to life; the electricity network operator is available on 105. Do not touch a casualty or try to move the cable using wood, plastic or clothing. Electricity can flash over without contact. Wait until the line owner confirms isolation and safety before approaching.
