“I thanked God and my angels for saving my life and protecting my son and I,' says Squamish woman.
A Squamish mom had a lot to be thankful for this weekend after she narrowly avoided being killed by a massive metal pole that flew off a truck and crashed through her car windshield on a North Vancouver bridge Friday .
She blinked at the moment of impact. When she opened her eyes again, “glass was everywhere,” she said. The metal beam had gone through her windshield and crashed through the car above her shoulder, missing her by inches. The Squamish mom said she was covered in glass from the smashed windshield but was overwhelmed by how lucky she had been.Police in Vancouver called the terrifying incident a "bizarre chain of events” that happened when a truck travelling northbound on the bridge lost a massive metal beam from its load. The beam fell to the bridge deck, "bounced off the concrete, then over the median and into oncoming traffic," police said in a press release.
“That was eye opening,” she said, adding she’s glad neither she nor her son had more serious injuries.“Everyone who came on the scene was saying how lucky I was, and I should buy a lottery ticket,” she said.
