Narrative

A miner was operating a Ditch Witch SK 600 when the equipment suddenly jolted. This action caused the miner's finger to get smashed between a support bracket and the handrest. It resulted in a fingertip avulsion requiring sutures. The miner was released from the hospital the same day and returned to work the next morning.
