Narrative

The mechanic was pulling a wheeled oil drain cart across the shop floor when a wheel hit a small obstacle on the floor causing the handle he was pulling on to deflect. This unexpected movement pinched his finger between the handle and a nearby bolt bin. The result was a smashed little finger on his right hand that required stitches.
