EE's statement has not been taken as of this time, so it is unclear precisely how the injury happened, but, while dumping a hopper of rock, EE somehow put his left hand on the outside of the hopper - perhaps to aid him pulling the level into the open position- and the hopper rolled back and mashed off tip of his left index finger at the base of the nail.
