April 7, 2011 WV · Coal haul/off road/coal/ore/pit/quarry/rock/rubber tire truck driver, transportation truck driver HANDLING OF MATERIALS
American Bituminous Power Partners L P · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Driver had loaded with ash and was slightly overweight so he had opened the tailgate to lighten the load. A chunk of ash impeded the gate closing fully so he tried to pull the lump out of the way. As the lump dislodged the gate slammed shut and got the 5th finger (pinkie) of his right hand caught between the gate and the bed.
