## Narrative

A quarry truck driver sustained a left index finger pinch injury while manually moving a ~288 lb motor that was left obstructing the Secondary Crusher Hoist way walkway. With the hoist out of service, a pony bar was inserted in the lifting eye so two employees could lift it onto a pallet. During the lift, the motor shifted and slid down the bar, pinching the employee's finger.
