Narrative

An employee was standing inside the opened door of a bucket truck with his left hand holding the driver side door slightly ajar while waiting for a secondary bucket truck to pull into position parallel to the employee's bucket truck. The secondary bucket truck pulled forward when the front corner of the truck bed contacted the employee's driver side door, causing their left hand to be crushed between the two vehicles. The employee suffered a detached left thumb that required surgery.
