A 14-year-old lad suffered serious burns after an aerosol can exploded in his face. GlasgowLive reported that Aiden McGee was walking with friends when they spotted a small blaze - but in a freak accident, a can placed in the fire blew up.
Aiden’s dad, Will, said the incident happened near a canal in Linnvale and the explosion was so big it blew him backwards. He said: “They saw a fire and, being curious wee boys, they went over. He told me that an explosion came out of a can and it blew him backwards.
“It had burnt all his face and his hands. He had a bottle of coke on him, he didn’t know what to do, so he poured it all over himself to cool down. He ran to one of his classmate’s granny’s house and chapped on her door and she threw him in a cold shower. We were then notified and my partner came back and said she needed to go get Aiden.
