Narrative

An employee was delivering steel beams to a residential job site. He pulled parallel to the curb and unstrapped his load. When he pulled a beam toward himself, the far end of the beam shifted and the beam tipped towards him and the beam pinned his left middle finger against the truck bed. He pulled his hand out from underneath the beam, and the beam fell to the ground. His left middle finger was amputated at the middle of the nail bed.
