A teenager has recounted the terrifying moment he was set alight by an exploding firework nearly losing his thumb as a result. Rio Diveney, 16, a young joiner from Oldham, had lit the firework given to him by a friend when it 'blew 'up.'
He 'blacked out' as it set fire to his coat and top. His entire hand was left split down the middle with his thumb and one of his fingers left 'hanging on by skin.'
