He had just turned 12, and he was running through the neighborhood when he spontaneously decided to vault over a fence that he usually ran around. KEY DETAILS: • Except he didn't quite make it. • "One of the spikes caught me on my side and went in the back area of my side and out the front," Gupta says. • "It was the skin, thankfully, as opposed to going into the chest or into the abdomen, which would have been much worse, but it was sort of a classic in-out sort of injury." Gupta says he was impaled for several minutes before his mother arrived to help hoist him off the fence. This is a developing story. More details will be provided as they become available. *Source: Npr*
