Narrative

An employee was trying to close a flatbed trailer door. He stepped off a two-step ladder he had used to reach the door's handle. As he lowered the door, his middle finger was caught between the bottom of the handle and the top of the ladder, causing the amputation of the finger from the first knuckle.
