Narrative

The injured was helping install a seat in a bulldozer. During the process, while his hand was underneath, the handle that latches the seat was inadvertently bumped which caused his ring and middle finger to get caught between the seat and base. As a result, his middle finger sustained a fracture at the finger nail area.
