Final narrative
A temporary employee had been picking up trash cans and dumping them in the rear loader of a garbage truck. At the time of the incident, he was helping the truck driver back up in the street. As the driver was backing up, the employee's right hand (finger) was caught between the rear loader and a 4 x 4 piece of wood, resulting in a finger amputation.
