A blows up firecracker to keep the wild boars from the courtyard of the house. He is seriously injured: loses an eyefractures a cheekbone, suffers aesthetic damage to his face, an eye socket and also a cerebral hemorrhage. It will be several months before the 56-year-old from Palomonte returns to a normal life. With only one eye and several wounds that risk leaving him indelible marks. The episode occurred on Friday night, in theHigh Sele. The 56-year-old’s home was surrounded by wild boars. It wasn’t the first time it had happened. For this reason, the local couple had “armed” themselves with firecrackers of considerable size. They would have exploded them to scare away the wild boars that were digging in the garden, making noise in the middle of the night, damaging private property in several places. The couple did not imagine the tragedy that would materialize shortly thereafter.
The bang
When a firecracker exploded, the husband was hit by the explosion that disfigured him. The bang, perhaps, was of a homemade nature. One of those that make noise and reach the goal more quickly: scaring the wild boars. The firecracker exploded before “landing” among the ungulates. Right in front of the face of the 56enne. And the damage was devastating. The man, of course, reported a din in his ears that slowly subsided. Then he started screaming at his wife, calling for help. One eye was torn. He couldn’t focus anymore. His sight wouldn’t return. Placing his hands on his face, the 56-year-old partially understood the extent of the damage. His wife found the courage to calm him down. And to accompany him to the hospital.
The race to the hospital
The two spouses arrived at theEboli Hospital in the middle of Friday night. The surgeons on duty and the maxillofacial doctor were alerted, and the first consultations with specialists began. The meeting with the ophthalmologist was dramatic. The eye was devastated. It was impossible to imagine a recovery.
