Narrative

Employee was using a pry bar to help pry a pilot bit off of drill rod. He had one hand on the pry bar and the other on the hood handle of a tractor. He was doing this to try and gain more leverage. As he was prying a rock fell out of the back and hit his left hand. This caused a laceration to the 5th left digit. As a result the employee recieved six sutures to the finger.
