Teen has chunk of wood impaled in his BUM in horror sledging accident

A TEEN was left needing an operation after his bum was impaled by a chunk of wood in a horror sledging accident.

Finn Johnston, 18. was with pals at Afton Reservoir in Ayrshire when he suffered the painful mishap.

After hurtling down a hill, he smashed into a fence and fell off his sledge, with the wood impaling through his lower back and bum cheek.

Finn, from Irvine, was rushed to Crosshouse Hospital by air ambulance for treatment.

Speaking from his hospital bed, he told the Daily Record: "It was horrific, I'm still in shock.

"I’m currently still in hospital as I need to get operated on."

He has since had his operation and is now in a stable condition.

Video posted online shows Finn clearly in a lot of pain as a friend says: "He's got something stuck in his a**e."

The wood is clearly visible sticking through his bum.
