Abstract: At 12:12 p.m. on May 8, 2021, an employee working as a laborer for a farm staffing service was working on a crew that had finished harvesting strawberries for the day. The employees got on the flat-bed trailer along with three coworkers. The trailer was hooked to a tractor to ride back to their vehicles.

The employee's right hand was caught between the two trailers during the collision. The employee was hospitalized to treat amputations to her ring and pinky fingertips.
