Narrative

At 8:30 a.m. on January 18, 2023, an Infrastructure Repair Services employee was placing racks on a rack truck when one rack (the last to be placed on the truck) struck the rear of the truck. He lost his grip on the rack and it fell into position, pinching the fingers on his right hand against the truck's bed. His middle and ring fingertips were amputated.
