The two vehicles were driving southbound on Interstate 280 in San Jose, Calif., when the accident occurred Friday afternoon. San Jose firefighters arrived at the scene, and shared a photo of the wrecked car on their social media pages.
According to the firefighters, the driver of the car walked away with just a scratch.
“Had the person been a little more to the right, it would have impaled him,” Cpt. Christopher Salcido, a San Jose Fire spokesman, told the SF Gate. “It looks like he not so much dodged a bullet, but a large beam of metal.”
