In October 2016, New York mother Alon Abare was scalped after her long hair got caught in a car’s fan belt while dealing with a mechanical issue. In a panic, she screamed for help, and her children rushed to her aid. Her son, Sam, turned off the engine, while her daughter, Logan, cut her hair to free her. Abare now relies on a wig to cover her injuries.
