3-Year-Old Boy’s Hand Gets Caught In Tricycle Chain, Severing One Finger

Mandi Truman, the grandmother, spoke with the outlet to explain how the accident happened. Her grandson was pushing the large tricycle from behind. Meanwhile, she was sitting on the porch watching him with her son.

Suddenly, his finger got caught within one of the chains, cleanly severing his little finger. “He doesn’t have a middle finger from here up, but he has all the rest,” said Truman.
