Narrative

An employee was connecting two dollies. He had pulled the pin from the eyelet of one dolly and was pulling the other dolly to make a connection when his right middle finger was caught between the tongue of one dolly and the eyelet of the other dolly. The finger was lacerated between the nail and the first knuckle, and the fingertip was medically amputated.
