The driver of the lawnmower was taken to the hospital in extreme shock. Other witnesses to the accident have undergone counseling and children at the local school were sent home early to be with family.
According to the local newspaper, the unfortunate woman was simply in the “wrong place at the wrong time.” If she had passed by the spot a second earlier or later the metal pipe would have whizzed right past her.
The Workplace Health and Safety department of Queensland has launched an investigation into how the pipe came to be hidden in the long grass and the safety precautions taken by the mowing company.
