Narrative

The construction crew worker used a pry bar to remove the wooden form work from the concrete. As the worker applied pressure to the pry bar, it slipped from underneath the form at an angle creating a pinch point between the pry bar handle and a nearby piece of concrete, crushing the workers left ring finer causing a cut that required 4 stitches.
