Many years ago, there was an accident on I-95 outside of Philly where a torque convertor fell off of a car that was being towed. It bounced up over the median and through the windshield of an unsuspecting driver heading in the opposite direction. It went straight through the windshield at eye level.
This happens far more often than you might imagine. In most cases you really don't have a chance to react. Just count your blessings.
