A 61-year-old man amputates his own toes with a pocket knife when his foot becomes trapped under the trailer of a truck. MONTROSE, COLORADO, UNITED STATES. SEPTEMBER 1, 2011) (NBC - A 61-year-old man amputated all the toes on his right foot after his foot became pinned under a heavy trailer. "I figured that was my only way of getting out of that deal alive," said Hutt. Hutt was able to reach for a small knife he was carrying in his pocket. "I looked it over. I thought, well, you better cut this thing off," he said. Using a sawing motion, Hutt severed one toe at a time, struggling not to pass out from the pain. After freeing his foot, Hutt had to drive 25 miles before he had a sufficient cell phone signal to call an ambulance. After his brush with death, Hutt was happy to be back home again with his wife, relaxing on their front porch. |
