Narrative

An employee drove a truck to a customer location and was in the back of the truck loading crates of milk onto a wheeled hand cart. While pushing the cart, the employee slipped on a milk/ice cream mix that had spilled onto the floor of the truck. The employee fell forward in the truck with his hands in front of him trying to break his fall. The hand cart rocked back and landed on his right hand, amputating his middle fingertip.
