## Narrative

Mechanic was hauling a rock guard, when stopped at the shop he noticed that the guard had shifted and was partially hanging off the back of the truck. He lifted the guard to push it back on to the bed, in doing so he caught his middle finger on his left hand pinching it between the bed and the guard. This required two stitches to repair the cut which ran under his finger nail.
