Resurrection Coal Company, Inc. · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

EE was running a 270 tractor that pulls coal in a ram car and had made a turn thru an intersection and had his right arm hanging out of the deck and over the bumper when the ram car bumped out against the tractor bumper it mashed his arm in between the two resulting in an injury he didn't think he hurt it but it started to swell up and decided to get it checked.
