Narrative

An operator was moving a D11 Caterpillar dozer from one work area to another. As he was traveling the dozer encountered an abrupt change in the surface elevation. The sudden movement caused the operator's right hand to be pinched causing a small fracture in the tip of the right thumb, and stitches to close the wound.
