A biker has miraculously survived after he got involved in an accident where he impaled his neck with two huge iron rods.
The three-feet long bars punctured Hamar Singh Rajput as he rode on his bike in a remote part of Rajasthan, India.
The 26-year-old rammed into a truck which was laden with heavy duty building material.
The horrific incident saw his momentum throw Singh into the rods which were dangling off the back of lorry.
Rajput said: ‘Two rods pierced into my neck as I rammed into the truck.
‘I could feel that something had badly injured me. But then I felt the rods in my neck and the feeling of death overtook me.
‘It happened in a fraction of a second and I could not understand how I could not control the bike. I thought I was going to die any moment.’
Eyewitnesses said Rajput was lying in a pool of blood and screaming for help when they discovered him.
He was rushed to the nearby government hospital by locals, where doctors were astonished to still see him conscious.
Dr Manish Chhaparwal, who operated upon Singh, said: ‘The impact of the crash was so severe that the iron rods had rammed through his neck and came out from his back.
‘We thought there was little hope of saving him.
‘We were amazed that he was still in his senses and managed to sit up. He was talking all the while.’
Rajput was immediately taken in for surgery. And after a three-hour operation, the iron rods were successfully removed from his neck.
Dr Chhaparwal added: ‘Sometimes in such accidents, more damage can be caused once the foreign object is removed from the body.
‘It was a miracle that the rods had not cut through any major blood vessels. All the vital parts remained untouched despite such a huge crash impact.’
