Abstract: At about 3:40 p.m. on August 1, 1994, Employee #1 was helping disconnect the towing bar of a road roller from the tow hitch of a dump truck. The roller was being backed up by another employee, while Employee #1 was holding the tow hitch latch by hand. Apparently, the motion of the roller pulled the tow hook against the latch, trapping Employee #1's finger between the latch and the mounting on the rear of the truck. His injury required hospitalization.
