There are many problems that can happen to you on the road. For example, your tire could pop, or your car’s self-driving could throw you into oncoming traffic. But surely that’s never happened, right? RIGHT?!?!

One of the problems you don’t expect, however, is nearly being killed by a falling tool, and yet, that’s exactly what happened here. This driver was alarmed after something fell from the bridge above them and landed on their windshield. After a moment, they realized that a) they were safe; and b) they were lucky something worse didn’t happen, as the object that fell was a pickaxe.

Thankfully for us internet users, the whole thing was caught on camera by the driver’s dashcam.
