SAN FRANCISCO -- The finger that a woman claimed she found in a bowl of Wendy's chili was severed in the tailgate of a truck during a work accident, an employee of an asphalt company said.

A worker with Lamb Asphalt Maintenance told the San Francisco Chronicle that a laborer lost the tip of his finger five months ago.

At the time, both men were working with the husband of Anna Ayala, the woman suspected of planting a severed finger in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's in San Jose, Calif.

Police have said the man who lost his finger is cooperating with authorities. Investigators have not released his identity.

Ayala is in jail on suspicion of attempted grand theft.

She claimed she bit into the finger in March and filed a claim against the restaurant chain shortly afterward.

The publicity resulted in a major loss of business for Wendy's.
