PENDANG (Bernama): A housewife was seriously injured in both legs and arms after being hit by tile splinters when lightning struck the kitchen of her house in Kampung Kuala Rimau near here Friday (May 31) night.
According to the victim's husband, Azizan Mad Desa, 52, his wife was standing near a tile cabinet when lightning struck and a rice cooker near the cabinet exploded, resulting in several pieces of tile splinters landing on his wife.
"The lightning triggered a blackout in the house and in the darkness, I could only hear my wife crying for help. After grabbing a torch, I saw her left leg was bleeding,” he told reporters here Saturday (June 1).
The injured woman was later sent to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital (HSB) in Alor Setar for treatment and there were no other casualties in the incident. - Bernama
