Narrative

An electrician at the Ford Motor plant was driving a scissor lift. He stopped the lift to begin work on an electrical panel. When he stopped the lift it rocked, causing his hand to get caught between the lift basket and the electrical panel. His left pinky finger was crushed resulting in the amputation of the fingertip.
