So... I almost died today
A 20lb concrete block fell from an overpass and landed about a foot on my right. Yep. Lucky me



















I forgot to put my hand next to it for scale

Aslong as your ok is the main thing, can replace the car, but cant replace a Knuck.

Lucky your steering wheel and seat are on the wrong side of the car, otherwise would of been far worse.

yeah if I had been changing lane or if there was someone with me, there would definitely be a casualty.

The damage is no big deal but it's still a pain in the ass. The second block ended up behind my seat somehow. I'm guessing this is the one that tore my Rossignol winter coat (I'm pissed)

I have a 0.1mm scratch on my hand and I still have dust and glass in my mouth but i'm ok

I read the title and thought "can't be as bad as me coming off my motorbike at 20mph today"

Yeah, you win!

Thats some seriously nasty poop! My first thought is if you had a UK import or that was in UK, someone would be dead!

Wow, that's pretty scary to see! Good thing it was only a close call! Clean through the glass and instrument panel, easy enough to go through a skull too.

Checked with the city or province about any reimbursement? Should be able to have the responsible level of government to cover the repair costs.

Thanks guys <3

I don't know who's paying yet but if the transportation minister says "FU" then it will be my insurance that will pay. In other words, me

The block fell. The police kept it (wish I could have it) and they called me to confirm it fell from the overpass I said.

What a coincidence. I was doing some work on an overpass today and dropped a concrete block. I never did find it.
