Amazingly, the driver of this car suffered only a slight scratch
A San Jose driver cruising down Interstate 280 on Friday afternoon is lucky to be alive after a huge beam fell off a truck and blasted into the windshield of his car.
Via SFGate:
Shortly after 2 p.m., the driver of a black BMW was going southbound on I-280 when the metal beam fell off of the back of a nearby truck and went through the windshield, said Cpt. Christopher Salcido, a San Jose Fire spokesman.
The driver pulled over to the right of the road, and escaped with only a slight scratch.
“Had the person been a little more to the right, it would have impaled him,” Salcido said. “It looks like he not so much dodged a bullet, but dodged a large beam of metal.”
The good news: he is alive. The bad news: explaining this to Jake from State Farm.
