According to the Daily Mail, Susan Westerfield, a 53-year-old American motorcyclist, has lost several teeth after being struck by a stray ball while riding a motorcycle around a golf course. The impact was so strong that Westerfield's boyfriend, who accompanied her at the time of the accident, believed it was a stray bullet instead of a ball.

According to the publication, in addition to losing several teeth and having a severely cut lip, the rider also suffered damage to some facial nerves. Although wearing a helmet, the equipment offered no face protection.

The man who fired the ball accidentally couldn't imagine hitting a person until he heard the biker's screams. According to golf course officials, although cars are occasionally hit by stray balls, they have never seen such an unfortunate succession of coincidences before.
