A man was left unconscious when a firework exploded in his face, Illinois cops say.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said the 58-year-old man purchased “commercially rated fireworks” before a gathering Sunday, July 2, in Cary.
He was detonating the fireworks outside a home, but one did not discharge as expected, the sheriff’s office said. The man was looking into the firework tube when it ignited, exploding in his face, police said.
The explosion caused major injuries to the man’s head, authorities said. Deputies found him “in and out of consciousness” and he was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, police said.

Praying for him and his family. Trying to celebrate and have fun. Sad.

The individual will be fortunate to have kept his eyesight, if he manages to regain mental function at all.
I would suggest, alcohol may have been involved.

If all he got was knocked out, he got off very lucky.
On my parent’s acreage, I threw a lighter into our garbage burn barrel and nothing was happening, so I looked into it. At that moment, the lighter ignited in my face and I was left completely blind for a couple of minutes.
