Narrative
On November 4, 2020, at approximately 11:45 AM, two Ranger Construction employees were unloading a skid steer loader from a tandem-axle heavy equipment trailer that was attached to a pickup truck. One employee was driving the loader down the trailer's loading ramp when the latch on the truck receiver was released. The weight of the loader on the back of the trailer caused the ring of the trailer receiver to pop up, contacting the latch and pinching the injured employee's left index finger between the latch and the hitch receiver. The fingertip was amputated.
