Gardener loses hand after discarded firework explodes in Torrance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:03:39 GMT

Home surveillance cameras captured the moment an illegal firework exploded in a Torrance neighborhood, causing severe injury to a gardener that was working in the yard.  Hector Mayoral and his brother were working on July 8 when he noticed what he thought looked like a golf ball near his work truck, which was parked on the street. When Mayoral picked the object up, thinking it was trash, it immediately exploded.  The blast took off most of his left hand, burned much of his face and affected his sight.  “It was gruesome,” Ken Lucas, whose home surveillance cameras captured the explosion. “There were fingers in the street and a lot of flesh parts in the street.”  Lucas, who lives across the street, heard the explosion from his backyard and ran out to help the gardener.  “I ran into the garage; I grabbed a strap, and I ran across the street and wrapped it around the gardener’s arm,” he explained.  It now appears that what looked like a small ball surrounde...

In 2022, the fees provided 8% of the $4.9 million spent on parks.Most of the lost revenue will be backfilled with ta...
