A city worker from Arizona is in intensive care after a huge cactus fell down and crushed him.
William Mason had been working to repair a leak when the eye-watering accident occured, the 16ft cactus toppled down on top of him and crushed his legs while impaling him all over with needle-like spines, so far doctors have managed to remove over 150 of them.
"We'll have to see how the surgery goes to learn the extent of his injuries," said his mother-in-law. "It was a horrible accident. He's in very serious condition. We don't even know if he will live. We're all praying for him."
In response to the same, City Administrator Greg Wilkinson has assured complete help to the family of the victim. As of now, investigations are going on to know what caused cactus to topple on the man.
