A warning to beach goers: beware the wayward umbrella.
Two reports this morning from south of the border of people being impaled by beach umbrellas.
Yesterday, a 46 year old woman on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland was impaled in the chest by an umbrella after a gust of wind picked it up and sent it airborne.
The victim was rushed to hospital and is expected to recover.
Last week, a woman on the Jersey shore was impaled in the ankle by a beach umbrella.
