The loaded Dump truck drive was driving off the weight scale platform when EE failed to negotiate the right turn after coming off the scale. When the front right wheel contacted the guiderail, the steering wheel spun violently and caught the drivers right thumb inside the rotating steering wheel, causing a fracture of the right thumb at the first knuckle.
