While splitting wood
Tyrolean (64) cuts off part of his finger
A 64-year-old man severed part of his middle finger while splitting wood in front of his home in Söll in Tyrol on Saturday. The man had to be flown to hospital.
At around 1.15 p.m., the 64-year-old was carrying out wood splitting work alone in the parking lot in front of his home. "In the course of this work, a piece of wood became wedged in the log splitter, whereupon the man tried to remove it," said the police.
Piece of wood suddenly broke
At the same moment, however, the piece of wood broke in two and the splitting knife completely severed the first phalanx of the 64-year-old's middle finger. "He was flown to the hospital in Innsbruck by emergency helicopter," said the police.
