March 9, 2009 IL · Metal/Non-Metal superintendent HANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED)
Mid-Illinois Quarry-Div/Mid-Illinois Concrete · Struck by falling object

Wet shot rock plugged up the Primary Crusher. I was inside of the crusher cleaning out the rock. I picked up a large rock to throw outside, the rock slipped off of the blow bar and fell on my left index finger, cutting it deeply.
