A beach day turned into a scene straight out of a horror movie for a lifeguard after she was impaled by an umbrella.
The incident happened Wednesday morning at Asbury Park’s 3rd Avenue Beach, where first responders were called to the Jersey Shore for reports a young woman was trapped by a beach umbrella.
Fellow lifeguards found the young woman lying on the ground near the lifeguard stand with an umbrella stake through her left shoulder and sticking out the back of her arm by about a foot, Asbury Park Fire Chief Kevin Keddy told Fox News Digital.
Keddy said first responders cut the umbrella stake off to make it easier to transport the victim to a hospital.

The commission stated that beach umbrellas that have been sent airborne by wind gusts have “killed people and caused many serious injuries.”
The commission also shared tips for consumers to protect themselves, like always making sure umbrellas are anchored properly and to be alert for high wind gusts.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Asbury Park Beach office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
