## Narrative

EE was raking loose material under the belt into piles for shoveling. A shovel was leaning against the wall behind him. The shovel was bumped causing it to fall under the belt and thrown back against the wall. The shove handle broke and a piece of the handle struck EE on the left index finger resulting in a separation fracture at the knuckle joint.
