A 71-year-old Toledo man was setting a mole trap using a 12-gauge shotgun shell when the trap accidentally discharged and hit his hand, according to the fire chief for the Toledo Fire Department.
Medics responded to the 500 block of Collins Road at about 4:25 p.m. Monday.
The man was treated at the scene and later transported to the Toledo Airport where he was airlifted to Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver, said Grant Wiltbank, chief for the Toledo Fire Department. His injuries were considered serious, but not life-threatening.
