Where not to put your fingers...
This Michigan man got more than he bargained for when he filled up his Lincoln Navigator.
Victor Harris noticed a piece of paper had got stuck in the filler neck as he was putting some fuel additives into his SUV, and thinking it was well within reach put his fingers into the hole to try and fish it out. However, unlucky Harris managed to get his finger stuck in the petrol tank and was unable to free himself.
Friends came to ‘help’ but Victor was still unable to free himself, and after struggling for two hours he eventually called the fire brigade. Two hours later the firemen freed Victor, but had to resort to cutting the fuel pipe out of his car.
Thankfully it all ended well after a trip to the hospital. Two stitches later the medics allowed Victor out to bask in his five minutes of fame.
