CLOSE CALL: Driver Not Wounded As Plywood Flies Off Truck, Impales Windshield


A Florida driver is fortunate to have escaped unscathed after a sheet of plywood flew into her car windshield on Friday afternoon.

The incident occurred in the northbound lanes of I-95 near Rockledge.

Investigators said a piece of plywood flew out of the bed of a 2006 Chevrolet pickup and sliced through the center of a car windshield, narrowly missing 35-year-old Rebecca Burgman of Melbourne.

Burgman suffered minor injuries, but refused treatment and was not taken to the hospital, officials said.

The driver of the pickup, 51-year-old Jaime Riveira of Haines City was cited for faulty equipment and failing to secure his load, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
