00:00A 56-year-old man narrowly survived after an iron rod pierced his face during a motorcycle
00:09accident in Sikh, Kedah.
00:11Aslan Mahmud sustained serious injuries when his motorcycle skidded and crashed at a construction
00:16site on Jalan Jeneri in Kampung Bukit Hangus on Saturday morning.
00:22He fell into an under-construction drainage ditch, where exposed reinforcement rods impaled
00:27his face.
00:28Sikh Fire and Rescue Station Chief Assistant Fire Superintendent Mohammad Jameel Matdod
00:33said a team was dispatched following an emergency call.
00:37Upon arrival, firefighters found Aslan conscious but with an iron rod penetrating the side
00:43of his face and extending to his head.
00:46They administered immediate treatment to control bleeding before rushing him to the Sikh District
00:50Hospital Emergency Unit for further medical care.
00:54Firefighters were later called to the hospital to assist in removing the one-metre-long,
00:59thumb-sized piling rod, a delicate procedure that took nearly an hour to complete successfully.
