Beetle

  • miles
Adult male had hand under the trunk lid getting ready to lift it open when the passenger door was closed (driver side door was already closed). There was a vacuum effect and the trunk lid slammed down on the hand. The hand was severely crushed but the skin wasn't broken and no bones were broken. If this had been a child or adolescent it probably would have been much more severe. This was a rental car.
