Narrative

As an employee was using a spring attached to a hand held drill to clean out the valve stem on a haul truck tire, the spring broke. The spring contracted and became embedded in the employee's left hand little finger. The employee was transported to Nye Regional Medical Center where it was determined that the employee's finger was fractured and the employee received two stitches.
