Narrative

Victim was working on unloading material that had been cleaned from the silo. Routine work for USA. They took a guard off saw a rock was lodged in a rotary gate, and decided to save time and effort used a finger to dislodge the rock instead of picking up the bar. The rock had moved allowing the rotary gate to rotate, and they couldn't move their finger fast enough.
