Car strikes piece of metal on road in Salt Lake County

Salt Lake County, Utah — A driver recently struck a piece of metal lying in the road, sending it flying through their windshield.

The driver was uninjured and managed to pull safely over to the side of the road, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

“In this case, it was completely unavoidable on his part but he did a great job keeping his cool!” UHP said in a Facebook post. “If you are driving and see debris in the road call 911 and we will get it out. Had this been a motorcyclist or someone without driving experience this could have been much worse.”

At this point, troopers did not specify the roadway where the incident happened.
