Narrative

Another contract hauler didn't have his tailgate latched when he was loaded. He, along with the injured, attempted to lift it open to allow material to fall out so that the tailgate could be latched. When the material fell out they could not hold the heavy tailgate and it slammed shut with the injured's finger in the latching mechanism.
