Narrative

Employees were laying asphalt paving on a highway. The injured employee was walking beside the paver machine with his hand on top of the road widener extension. The extension was lowered and his finger was pinched between the machine and a steel guardrail along the side of the highway. As a result, the injured employee sustained an amputation of his right middle fingertip.
