Shocking X-ray image shows wheel bolt embedded in skull of boy, 9, after crash This is the terrifying moment a nine-year-old boy's skull is speared by his bicycle wheel after he tripped over whilst riding.
Firefighters who arrived on scene used bolt cutters and angle grinders to cut away the wheel before surgeons took over to remove the bolt.
The boy, who is lying face-down on the tarmac, is hit by the rear wheel with such force that it buries the hub's central bolt in his skull.
Hospital de Clinicas of the Federal University of Triangulo Mineiro officials said the bolt had penetrated 1cm, or nearly an inch, into his skull.
The motorbike lever luckily missed the boy's eyeball by millimeters, doctors in Malaysia revealed as they shared gory details of the crash.
