LeGrand Johnson Construction Co · Caught in, under or between (Not Elsewhere Classified)

Two oversized rocks were lodged in the jaws of the portable crusher. I managed a chain around one rock and had someone else pull it out. He then put his right toes in a pinch point for a step to reach the remote control. On grabbing the remote control, he absentmindedly switched the jaws on and caught his foot. His 4th and 5th toes on his right foot were fractured.
