Narrative

While a miner was docking the boat in rainy, windy conditions, the motor failed at idle, causing loss of control. Wet, slippery surfaces and an attempt to prevent collision led to a slip and fall, resulting in the miner's right forearm being caught and crushed between the boat and dredge. The miner was assisted and transported to the hospital at - 2:26 AM.
