Employee's Hand Crushed by Falling Vehicle

At 1:30 a.m. on June 8, 2016, a heavy equipment mechanic was servicing the engine of a 40-ton Kumatsu articulator earth mover. In an attempt to access the engine and install a safety bar, the cab of the vehicle was attached to an excavator by way of a chain and hook. As the cab was lifted, the hook became dislodged and the vehicle fell. The cab of the vehicle crushed the employee's right hand, causing severe lacerations and ligament damage.
