When the Red Crescent took the injured Saudi to the hospital, his leg below the knee was missing, Madinah daily reported on Saturday. The accident occurred on Friday around 9 p.m. near a stadium in the city. The missing part was found and brought to the hospital five hours later, when it was too late to perform a surgery to suture up the severed limb.

Police retrieved the missing limb when a man called to tell them that he found a human leg in front of his house. On further inquiries police learned that the owner of the organ was in the emergency ward in the hospital. According to sources, the successful rejoining of the leg depended on several factors including the gap between the accident and the surgery.
