Narrative

EE was working on a truck that wouldn't start; he reached in to rotate the crank shaft by pulling on the fan belt when another employee activated the start switch. His fingers were caught between the belt and the alternator pulley. The ends of his little and ring fingers on his right hand were amputated.
