Narrative

On July 7, 2021, an employee was removing a repair trailer from a utility vehicle's hitch using their right hand. As the hitch released, it pinched their right index finger between the tailgate of the utility vehicle and the trailer hitch latch resulting in a laceration and fracture to the right index finger that required surgery and hospitalization.
