Narrative

Around 12:45 PM, a clamp truck operator went to remove a piece of orange strap from a clamp truck that was parked outside of the office. The strap fell into a gap between the frame and the hood of the truck. The strap became caught in the engine's fan and also wrapped around the employee's hand when he went to grab it. The strap was pulled tight against the frame of the clamp truck, causing lacerations and fractures to the employee's hand. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery.
