Narrative

Injured was tramming a roof bolter on unit #2 entry 3 crosscut A. As they turned the corner the roof bolter became a little unstable from a drop in the mine floor. As the injured reached for the top of the canopy to help with their balance a crossover pad fell from the canopy and struck injured on top of the hand. This resulted in a fracture of the lower part of the middle finger.
