Narrative

After delivering a load of stone to the jobsite, the driver of the dump truck was checking to see why the tailgate of the dump truck was not closing properly. When he pushed the tailgate, it returned, trapping the fingers on his left hand between the bed and the gate. The ring and middle fingers were amputated to the first joint.
