A Utah driver described a terrifying moment that happened on her way to work Wednesday when a piece of metal debris crashed through her windshield.
The close call took place near 2300 North on I-215 in Salt Lake City, the Utah Highway Patrol said.
Annette Beaves, the driver, told FOX13 Salt Lake City that the moment she saw the metal object flying at her was "terrifying" and that she "could have died."
"It was going so fast," she said. "It didn't bounce off the ground. I only had like a second to react. It did a couple of flips, honestly was like a giant ninja star."
