Narrative

An employee was trying to transfer lumber from a bundle on a forklift into the bed of a truck. The lumber was frozen together, and another employee began to tap it with a hammer. The wood began to slide, and the first employee's hand was caught between the falling wood and a stack of wood. The employee's right ring fingertip was amputated.
