Narrative

On January 25, 2024, a forklift operator was driving in a warehouse when the forklift's back tires hit a wet spot. The forklift spun and struck a stack of material. The roll cage pinched the employee's left little finger against the edge of the material. The finger sustained an amputation and soft tissue on the underside of the finger was also removed.
