Narrative

As the EE was installing roof bolts the drill steel that he was using became clogged. When he was removing the clogged drill steel from the drill hole a piece of draw rock struck the EE's left hand pushing it down onto the drill pot. This caused pinching of his left ring finger between the fallen draw rock and the drill pot.
