Final narrative
An employee was about to dump sand from a hopper, raised on the forks of a forklift. As the hopper's weight shifted forward and it began to dump, the employee's left middle finger was pinched between the forklift fork and the metal frame of the hopper. The fingertip was crushed, and the employee underwent a medical amputation at the first knuckle.
