Early this past spring, my daughter and I were going south on US 220 (4 lane section) and in the passing lane. A pick up truck in the north bound lane was also in the passing lane and the fiberglass cap lifted and blew off his truck. It sailed over the median and hit upside down on the road in front of us and bounced and went airborn again. I reached over and shoved my daughter's head into her lap (teenager) and the cap flew over the car missing us by not much more than a coat of paint. An 18 wheeler not far behind made short work of the cap. The guy that lost it was stopped almost 6 miles on up the road for speeding when several calls came in about the incident with the cap. Ain't cell phones great?
There were several charges brought including reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident. As I understood, the guy tried to claim he didn't know he lost the cap, so the judge pointed out that if he is so unaware of what is going on around him while he's driving, maybe he should not be driving. Thankfully the only damage in the whole fiasco besides the guy's wallet, was 6 tires on the 18 wheeler and the cap itself. No injuries happened but it could have been ugly.
