Narrative

On April 13, 2015, at approximately 10:50 p.m., an employee attempted to open a bay door to a truck while operating a forklift. He smashed his left hand, severely lacerating his left ring finger and damaging his left pinky finger, which was barely hanging on. The pinky finger was initially reattached, but was eventually surgically amputated up to the second joint.
