Narrative

Attempted to move a shuttle car. He thought the door was latched tight and started to move forward. The door swung open and he reached out and caught the door. As he was shutting the door he simultaneously let off on the tram lever, the inertia from this action caused the door to swing shut faster than anticipated subsequently catching his finger between the frame and door.
