Subscribe to RSSCrash survivor’s lucky clover
Doctors treating a man, who had a lucky escape after a fence post speared through his chest, found a four-leaf clover stuck to his back.
Raymond Curry, 20, was on his way to work when his Vauxhall Corsa overturned and rolled through a fence near his home in Cramlington, Northumberland.
He was flown to hospital still impaled by the piece of wood, which had amazingly missed all of his vital organs.
An air freshener inside the car somehow ended up inside one of his wounds, and was removed. It was at hospital that the lucky clover leaf was found on his back.
Mr Curry, who now has the four-leaf clover framed on his bedroom wall, said: ‘I know how lucky I am to be alive.
“I’d never even seen a four-leaf clover until this happened, so it was good timing, I suppose,” he told the Evening Chronicle newspaper.
Paramedic Jane Peacock, from the Great North Air Ambulance, was one of the team who treated Mr Curry.
She said: “He is a very lucky lad. It gave me a good chuckle when I heard afterwards about the four-leaf clover.”
She said some of the post was cut away by a fire crew so he could fit in the helicopter.
Mr Curry, who lives with his parents, even urged a Good Samaritan who was first on the scene to ring his bosses to tell them he would not be at work.
