Emergency case

Man survives horror injury after being impaled by 2,5-foot iron spike! The motorist was driving when he collided with a pick up truck, leaving him impaled on an iron rod. The metal stick went through the right side of his chest and came out of his upper back, unsurprisingly injuring his lungs. Medical team spent three hours painstakingly removing the spike, and just days later he was up and walking, and is expected to make a good recovery.
