Narrative

On September 14, 2024, at 7:00 PM, employees were removing multi-purpose metal bars from an I-beam support of the new bridge deck. When the injured employee was lifting a bar, the bar slipped from his hands. He was catching the bar and his left ring and little fingers became caught between the knot of that bar and the I-beam support. He was hospitalized for surgery and medical amputation of his ring fingertip.
