AND BOUNCED OFF MY FREAKING WINDSHIELD!!!
Then sat on my hood for the next 5 miles until I found a safe place to pull off the road and remove it... Some highway worker was tending a machine and tossed it across the road... not seeing me heading his way!   |

I was going about 45mph, comming down hill, and I turn off my engine brake in work zones to avoid startling the workers. |

WTF? When was the last time a tractor-trailor threw a 5 pound chunk of concrete off the road at anyone??? Yeah, if that came through the windshield, I could have been fucked up bad. |

That'll teach you. BTW, I like the action shot of the rock through the windshield as you're driving. My question though is.... how did you manage to keep the truck on the road while you were clambering around on the bumper taking the pic from the outside?

You know those big wedge things that hold your rim on to your hub? About as big as your balled up fist? I've had one of those and two lugnuts come through my windshield hard enough to break the passenger seat. What do you call those things anyway? |

Heck if I know... We have regular wheels that have regular lugs. The are the same as dual wheels you might see on a heavy duty pick up truck, two wheels "back to back" so to speak. |

Glad you weren't hurt Nationwide! That rock probably wouldn't have just bounced off of a regular car windshield. I hope you had a nice chat with the guy who threw it across the road.

Holy shit. It didn't even crack the glass. That is pretty awesome.
Why is it your windshield can take on a small mountain, yet mine cracked when a piece of gravel hit it? .....wait.... why does it look like your rock splattered like a bug? |

I had a similar incident in St. Louis with a kid throwing a rock from a bridge; very scary when something that large hits the winshield. |

I read a sad story in Readers Digest about a woman that was burned severly by acid in a glass container that was thrown off of an overpass in Oklahoma. Because of her story, and her actions with the legislature, it is a FELONY to throw anything off of an overpass in Oklahoma. It should be a FELONY to throw anything into traffic.

We had a real shocker here locally a few years ago. We have an interstate that skirts the north edge of town. A new subsidized apartment complex was built just south of it. There was an old, long-abandoned railroad bridge that crossed the interstate (now removed) just a block from the new apartments. Some rotten little bastard(s) went onto it at night and dropped a frigging bowling ball onto a semi-truck. It hit perfectly in the windshield, driver's side, and was caught by the steering wheel, bending it into a perfect half circle, with the BB still there. They interviewed the truck driver, showed a close up of the BB and steering wheel and the poor bastard was still shaking like a leaf a couple of hours later. I guess he should have gone and bought a lottery ticket immediately.
Of course, they never caught the little bastards that did it.

Did you clean out your pants before or after you took the pic
Had a Peterbilt with a sun visor and a headrack for a car carrier years back and a Crow flew into the windshield, blood everywhere and the bird was still alive trying to get out, flew all over the front of the windshield before I got slowed enough for it to go forward to get away from the truck, scarry at 65 miles per hour You're a lucky man, and I dont miss driving truck |

Judging from that first picture, he was probably just trying to get your attention for driving on the wrong side of the road!

File a claim to get your windshield replaced & get body work as called for. Don't forget lost income while the rig is in the shop.
My bet is it's gonna crack sometime soon. It's hard to believe it didn't crack already, but I'm not tossing the "BS" flag. |
