Motorist Gets Gear Shift
Lever Through the Neck
In Automobile Accident
KAPUSKASING, Ont. itf* —The
man who walked through the door
of Sensenbrenner Hospital looked
like any other — except for the
gear shift protuding from both
sides of his neck.
Half an hour later an emer
gency operation had removed the
nine-inch shaft from the neck of
Ronald Bisson, 29. of Kapuskasing.
Doctors said the steel shaft just
missed the neck arteries.
Bisson was in a car accident
Tuesday night. He said everything
happened so fast he didn’t know
how the gear shift pierced his
neck or how it snapped off the
car.
Bisson’s wife, a nurse, was on
duty at the hospital when he ar
rived.
