## Narrative

IE stated that while trying to unplug the charging cable from the battery for # 14 scoop, the charging cable was stretched over the battery lids. As the IE pulled on the cable to get some slack to unplug the charging cable, the cable pulled on the lid enough to slam closed on IE's left pinky finger as EE was disconnecting the charging cable plug, causing a laceration and fracture
