## Narrative

EE was replacing the windshield wiper motor on a F-250 truck. After installing, EE plugged the motor in. The wiper was not in the ""Parked"" position and cycled, pinching their left thumb in the wiper linkage. EE was wearing cut-resistant gloves, but it was a pinching situation resulting in a laceration requiring stitches to close. EE returned to work with no restrictions.
