Narrative

The injured was in the process of installing an 8' bolt in an intersection. As he was drilling his hole, a wing curtain got caught on the drill steel and caught his left arm, jerking it toward the steel. The injured pulled his hand back away from the steel and this caused a laceration at the base of his two middle fingers.
