A father of three in Racine was rushed to the hospital over the weekend when his family’s holiday fun with fireworks went terribly wrong.
Family told TMJ4’s Tahleel Mohieldin 25-year-old Justin Hayes an incident with a faulty firework left Hayes blind and his right eye, with a broken nose and third-degree burns to his fingers.
"He was bleeding everywhere,” Laurie LaFever said. “He kept screaming. I don't want to go blind. I don't want to go blind, please don't let me."
Hayes is the boyfriend of Laurie’s daughter Taylor and father to her grandchildren. Laurie said for the last six years near their home in Racine, the family has lit fireworks without incident at an annual neighborhood cookout but Saturday was different.
