A Scots teenager has been left with burns on his face and hands after an aerosol can exploded in a freak accident in West Dunbartonshire.
Aiden McGee had been walking along the canal in Linnvale, towards Clydebank, to play football with friends on Monday June 19 when they noticed a fire nearby. The group went over to inspect the small blaze but after just a few seconds an aerosol can exploded which "blew him backwards".
It caused severe burns across the 14-year-old's hands and the left side of his face with his skin peeling, face blistered, eyebrows burnt off, and hair singed. The youngster's dad, Will, was stunned to receive the call about what had happened and fears he "could have lost our son".
