Had a window busted by a compartment door from a trailer, The thing just flew off, caught air and smacked my windshield!
Didn't get his license number cause it scared the **** out of me and I had to pull over and remove it from the window!!
Same thing happened to me crossing the Grapevine out of Bakersfield, I was behind a van, they had a Thule storage compartment mounted on the roof,, I happened to notice the top was kinda jiggling around,, Then I saw something come out and go flying by me,, looked like a pair of pants. Said to myself, "Now there's something you just don't see everyday"!
Then I realized what was happening so I pulled into the next lane and started to slow down as the top of the compartment flew off and went about twenty feet into the air and hit another semi truck smack in his windshield, he locked up his brakes and caused a major incident all the time while these folks laundry was paying out of the top of the van and blowing all over the freeway! Other drivers were honking at them to stop but they just kept about their merry way oblivious as to what just happened!
Don't know the outcome but I sure was glad I missed that one!!
Hope they got a new top for it!!
