Freak accident alert!
Vasanth Limbu, 30, a Nepali worker stunned colleagues when a metre-long piece of wood he was cutting pierced his forehead. The 30 year old was working at a wood cutting machine at the sawmill in Gemas when the wood splinter struck him in the head at 8.25am yesterday. The poor guy had to go through two hours of pain.
The medical staff there had to call the Fire and Rescue Department for help. Gemas fire and rescue operations officer Kamarudin Salleh said his men had to cut part of the protruding wood cautiously before sending Vasanth to the Segamat Hospital.
“We did that to reduce his pain,” he said, adding that the wood might have lodged 30cm deep in Vasanth.
