SO, I had a pretty good "wake me up" on my way to breakfast today. I was driving down Deerfoot to pick up my gf and some thing big flys out of no where and smokes my windshield, shattering it but luckily not breaking through it (I don't know if shattering is the right word? It got f***** up), hit so hard the whole car shook, small bits of glass went everywhere and my mirror flew off (very thankful this happened on the way to get my gf and not with her in that seat or she would've got smoked).
Now it happened way too quick, in too crappy of weather conditions for me to see what it was and I was not getting out on deerfoot to see but I'm thinking it was a part from a car or something as if it was a rock the size of the object I saw, I'm sure it would've gone through. I didn't see anyone pull over but I wasn't really looking to hard. To be honest I kinda didn't know what to do as there wasn't any where that was great to pull over between me and the exit I needed so I just drove to her house (it was like a minute away) as I could still see out of a good chunk of my side of the windshield.
Anyway, thats probably my closest call to a major injury. I know it's not that "close" but to me it was. What about you guys? Any incidents that shook you up a bit?
