## Narrative

The employee stated he was attempting to dislodge a rock that was fouled in the chain of a shuttle car, and while pushing the rock over the bumper of the car the rock cantilevered upwards striking his right index finger between the rock and mine roof.  This resulted in an avulsion to the tip of the employees right index finger that required 11 sutures.
