Narrative

An employee loaded plants onto a trailer wagon. The trailer was being moved to another section and the employee was walking behind the trailer. The trailer wagon was being pulled by another empty trailer in the same driveway. The employee thought the loaded trailer was going to contact the empty one and put his hand between the two trailers resulting in a partial amputation of the right index finger.
