Fluttur á slysadeild eftir að hafa drukkið stíflueyði (Move to casualty ward after having drank drain cleaner)

Maður var fluttur á slysadeild um klukkan hálfníu í kvöld eftir að hann hafði drukkið stíflueyði í Húsasmiðjunni í Skútuvogi. (A man was moved to the casualty ward at about eight-thirty at night after he had drank drain cleaner in a hardware store in Skútuvogur [Skútuvogur is a street name].)

Að sögn vakstjóra hjá slökkviliðinu voru það starfsmenn Húsasmiðjunnar sem kvöddu sjúkralið á vettvang en maðurinn var mjög veikur enda um afar sterkt efni að ræða sem brennir innyfli og getur verið baneitrað. (According to the Fire Department's report it was the hardware store personnel who summoned the hospital to the scene but the man was very ill as this is a very strong substance which burned his intestines and can be deadly poisonous.)
