KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City police are investigating after a woman was impaled on her neighbor's wrought iron fence the same day the neighbor's home was robbed, KMBC reported.

Mary Beth Byers, 37, was trying to climb over the fence when she was impaled on it early Thursday morning. Her husband heard her screaming and found Byers stuck in the fence. He supported her to prevent the iron spike from impaling Byers further while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

A resident who witnessed the incident said the woman had slipped 6 to 8 inches down on the fence. Gail Stark, the victim's mother, said paramedics had to remove part of the fence to free the impaled woman.

She was taken to an area hospital, where she was listed in serious condition.

Byers told authorities she went to her neighbor's house to return some garage sale items. But later in the day, the neighbor, who lives in the 1200 block of Northeast 81st Street, reported that her home had been robbed. Police are looking into the incident.

CITY WOMAN'S SPIKE HORROR


12:11 - 11 December 2003

A young Exeter woman almost died when she was impaled on a spike during the early hours of this morning. City fire crews were called to the scene at Powderham Crescent at around 4am and found the woman speared through her leg on some railings.

Acting Station Officer Bob Crane said the girl was within inches of her life, as the spike had narrowly missed a major artery.

Fire officers spent 45 minutes cutting her free by slicing through the metal with special cutters.

When she was finally released, she was taken to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital for treatment.

ASO Crane said they were told the woman, who was with a friend, had slipped while trying to climb over the fence.

The firemen cut away most of the metal but had to leave the spike in her leg to prevent excessive blood loss. The woman is now recovering in hospital.

had a friend fall off a roof and land butt down on a chinlink gatepost. There was a horse head on top of the post. Missed his rectum by an inch. I still get chills thinking about it. It literaly ripped him a new one.

I want to get a fence that has a runway for Radioactive Pit Bulls with knives, that, when they bark, emit a cloud of killer bees, and that explode when they bite you.

OK. I understand the pit bulls. I understand the radioactivity. I get the killer bees and the explosion part.

Now, what the heck is with the knives?

[Embedded Freeper]

Yes, but she got the point.

Paging Spike Lee.
