Narrative

The chute feeding the VSI Crusher plugged, which at that time, the equipment was shut down to clean out the rocks. When the miner was removing the rocks out of the plugged chute, another rock shifted and smashed his finger causing the injury, which required approximately 8 sutures. The rocks in the chute were 2""-8"" in size.
