Get the credit for saving a driver hit by a piece of rebar.
Latrice Grismore of Texas was traveling down this highway when LA this week when a three-foot piece of metal flew off a utility truck going in the opposite direction.
And there you see it. The rod crashed through her windshield and hit her in the face.
But somehow she was left with just a few scratches.
It hit my glasses and bounced in my lap.
And you know what's crazy? It didn't even scratch the glass.
I think I'm going to keep the rebar and never throw it away to remind me every day that I'm I'm blessed.
Yes, she is. The driver of the truck never stopped. Gris not sure if he knows exactly what.
