A man who dropped a circular saw on his throat in a Bank Holiday DIY accident was airlifted to hospital.
The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance were called to a house in Grange Park, Northampton, at about 9.40am on Good Friday.
A spokeswoman for the WNAA said: “A 46-year-old male was suffering from severe neck and throat injuries, after he dropped a circular saw he had been using above his head.
“The patient was given oxygen, and the WNAA crew applied specialist gauze to his neck wound to stop any further bleeding.”
The man was airlifted to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire for treatment at the major trauma centre.
