Suresh can count himself lucky to be alive.

After all, bikers who fall and end up with iron rods in their necks don't usually live to tell the tale.

Suresh's accident took place in Yanam, a part of the Union Territory of Puducherry which is located within Andhra Pradesh's East Godavari district.

Police said Suresh was trying to avoid hitting an auto-rickshaw. He fell on a pile of iron rods lying beside NH 216 - they were to be used to widen roads.

Suresh avoided a collision, but one of the rods pierced his neck and came out on the other side - through his mouth.

Passersby took him to the Kakinada Government Hospital. Expert treatment saved the critically injured biker's life.

The iron rod was removed after a small operation, and doctors have said Suresh is 'out of danger.'
