Woman Gets Her Arm Ripped Off In A Parked Car
A 78-year-old had her arm ripped off in a freak accident in Cornwall, Plymouth on Saturday afternoon.
According to Devon and Cornwall Police, Maggies Havies had leaned into her neighbour's Peugeot car to close the window. she apparently turned on the ignition to get the power for the electric windows not knowing that the car was in gear and it lurched forward tearing her arm in the process.
The pensioner was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth and It is hoped that surgeons would be able to reattach the arm that was cut off above the elbow.
