(Reuters) - An Australian man who waved out of a car window at two young women
was expected to lose his arm Monday after it was almost severed by another passing
vehicle.
The
20-year-old was a passenger in a pick-up truck at Bunbury, in Western Australia
state, when he waved at two women in a car wash.
But
as he put his arm out the driver made a right hand turn and the man's limb was
struck and almost torn off by an oncoming four-wheel-drive.
"His
left arm was partially severed and doctors believe the limb may need to be amputated,"
police said.
