A man lost his hand when an explosive device detonated as he was cleaning up Fourth of July fireworks debris on a beach in Northern California.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Jason Turner and his girlfriend, Pamala, were walking along Point St. George Beach in Del Norte County intending to pick up trash, according to a GoFundMe set up by his daughter Ashley Turner.<\/p>\n

According to the online fundraiser, Turner picked up a “a bomb-like device that unexpectedly went off.”<\/p>\n

Pamala told CBS News Sacramento<\/a> that she used her shirt as a tourniquet to stop Turner’s bleeding before first responders arrived.<\/p>\n

The Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office<\/a> said in a statement on social media<\/a> that their deputies responded to reports of an explosion at the beach. When they arrived, they found Turner in the parking lot with a “significant injury to his hand.”<\/p>\n

Ashley Turner said her father had to have his hand amputated and is waiting to undergo more surgeries. He is also dealing with vision and hearing loss as a result of the explosion, according to the GoFundMe.<\/p>\n

“My dad will be going into additional surgeries for his eyes. He has metal fragments stuck in his eyes,” Ashley Turner wrote in a Wednesday update. “His right ear drum is blown and he has no hearing out of it.”<\/p>\n

The fundraiser also explained that Turner is the sole provider for his family of seven, and two of his children are still in school.<\/p>\n

As of Friday afternoon, nearly $100,000 has been raised to help with Turner’s ongoing medical costs. His daughter said his injuries may be permanent.<\/p>\n

The Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office searched the beach and launched an investigation into what caused the explosion.<\/p>\n

“If you find a suspected explosive device do not touch it. Move away to a safe distance and immediately contact law-enforcement,” the sheriff’s office said.<\/p>\n
