A Paisley schoolboy, Riley Luke, who lost four fingers and part of his hand in a fireworks accident, is warning others ahead of Bonfire Night. Coverage describes the incident as happening when he was eight years old, after a firework goes off in his hand, leaving him seriously injured.
Multiple outlets identify him as a boy from Paisley and say the injuries are “devastating,” with some specifying that he lost four fingers and part of his palm. Several articles frame his message as a public safety warning for Bonfire Night, pointing to the need for careful handling and safe practices.
Outlets differ slightly on the emphasis and details they include: some focus on the initial “horror” or “tragic” nature of the accident and the severity of the loss, while others foreground the warning he gives and the timing around Bonfire Night.
