A driver in Britain suffered a broken nose on Monday after a frozen sausage was thrown through an open window of his car, an ambulance official said.
The 46-year-old man was driving near his home in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, south-east England, when the “bizarre incident” occurred, said a spokesperson for the Essex ambulance service.
“He was driving his car when the offending item came through his open window and hit him on the nose,” the spokesperson said.
“He said he saw a car coming the other way and felt a searing pain in his nose. He managed to stop his car without hitting anyone else, at which point passers-by came to his aid.”
The driver lost a lot of blood from his broken nose but opted against going to hospital, according to the spokesperson.
“I feel very sorry for him — it must have been an incredibly lucky or unlucky shot to get the sausage through a moving car window. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before,” the ambulance spokesperson added.
Police said they are investigating the incident and want to hear from anyone with information. — AFP
