Narrative

An employee had been spraying weeds behind a school. As he was leaving the field, the employee drove his truck up to the gate, got out, and opened the gate. The truck rolled forward and pinned him against the fence/gate. The gate then gave way and opened from the force of the truck. The employee's left index fingertip got caught in the fence/gate and was amputated.
