Employee's Finger Tip Is Amputated by Car Wheel Cover

On November 20, 2005, Employee #1, a car wash attendant, was working at the feed out end to dry the cars. When a car came out, he asked the vehicle operator to put the car in park, which the driver did. Employee #1 reached down to dry water from the spoke of the wheel of the vehicle, and allowed his left middle finger to go inside the wheel as he wiped it dry. At the same moment the vehicle moved. Employee #1's left middle finger tip was amputated when it was caught between the brake caliper and the edge of the spoke wheel. He was not hospitalized for his injury.
