## Narrative

An employee was helping a customer place a trailer hitch onto the hitch ball. While determining why the hitch would not go onto the ball, the employee placed his index finger up into the hitch. At the same time, the customer placed his vehicle in park and took his foot off of the brake. The vehicle moved and pinched the employee's index fingertip, resulting in amputation.
