Crash of wooden planks on the motorway: near-disaster due to cargo flying around

Both inmates of a Mitsubishi are in the wrong place at the wrong time: they are almost hit by a wooden plank that they missed by a hair's breadth.

Ohio Turnpike (USA) - Kim Awada is on her way home with her companion. The driver is driving her blue Mitsubishi Outlander * on a freeway in the US state of Ohio when a shocking incident occurs. The car's windshield is badly damaged after the accident. That was close - and the impact caused by a wooden slat was absolutely life-threatening: the two people inside the vehicle narrowly escape death as if by a miracle.

A pick-up is driving on the autobahn immediately in front of Awada's car, and a part of its load is loosening. Two boards fly in a high arc from the cot and sail through the air. A wooden slat hits the two friends' Mitsubishi Outlander head-on and pierces the windshield. The long and heavy bullet lands a little further on the passenger side, but luckily it breaks through exactly the middle of the window. The board penetrates to the center console - and misses both occupants by just a few centimeters.
