A lifeguard is in the hospital after she was impaled by an umbrella at a New Jersey beach on Wednesday morning, officials said. The woman said the wind blew the umbrella off the lifeguard stand, and when she went to grab the umbrella to keep it from falling, it struck her, according to Asbury Park police.

Strong winds picked up the umbrella and the stake went through the front of her left shoulder and pierced through the back of her arm.
