Abstract: At approximately 10:15 a.m. on September 13, 2011, Employee #1, a tow truck driver, had dropped off a vehicle. He was putting the dolly away and he caught his finger between the dolly assist arm, a strut that operates like a shock absorber, and the frame of the tow truck. The pinch point crushed his finger. He was transported to a medical center, where a physician treated the injury, which involved removing the damaged distal phalangeal bone from his fingertip. Following the procedures, he was hospitalized for postoperative care.
