Investigation Summary
At 1:15 a.m. on January 10, 2022, an employee was working as a chicken feed delivery truck driver delivering feed to a local farm. The employee noticed an issue with the trailer feed auger so he opened the bottom access door to investigate. Before opening the access door, the employee turned the auger off using a remote control attached to his belt. The employee stuck his right hand inside the auger to check and see if the interior bolt was broken. At some point during his investigation, the auger started up and caught his hand in the mechanism. The employee amputated his right hand requiring hospitalization.
