Three teenagers were hospitalized following an electrical accident during a Nine Emperor Gods procession in Kedah, Malaysia, on October 13. The incident occurred around 8:45 p.m. when strong winds pushed a flag they were carrying into contact with a high-voltage power line, resulting in an audible blast and sparks. Paramedics stationed at the event provided immediate medical assistance before transporting the victims to a hospital. According to police reports, the three youths, aged 16 and 17, sustained various burn injuries. The youngest victim, a 16-year-old, is currently in a coma after suffering burns covering 80 percent of his body. Authorities were notified of the emergency shortly after the event took place.
