PASSERS-BY helped save a boy who was impaled on spike on a fence at Happy Mount Drive, Morecambe on Tuesday night.
The 12-year-old boy had been trying to retrieve his football when his upper thigh became impaled on the spike.
The passers-by helped the boy remove himself while his frantic friends contacted the fire brigade and ambulance. The child was then rushed to the RLI in an ambulance.
"Judging by the treatment he received his injury does not seem to have been too bad," said one paramedic.
