(WBRC) — BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — A fifth-grader was impaled on an exposed metal pole in Hudson K-8’s cafeteria on Wednesday.

Stacy Minnifield, the student’s mother, says a nurse called her around lunch time to tell her about an accident. The school’s cafeteria tables have individual plastic seats attached to metal poles.

At least one plastic seat was missing leaving a pole exposed.
