Man Blows Hand Off After Lighting Firework in Truck

The passenger had apparently taken the rocket motor off the firework and then lit the fuse on the aerial cluster burst while holding it in his left hand. The inside of the car was reported to be covered in blood, the windshield and the back window were destroyed, the lighter blown apart, and the mans hand too. The police arrived after numerous 911 calls. They applied a tourniquet and assisted him to the hospital.
