The rebar came flying through the windshield and ricocheted off the passenger seat, narrowly missing Amanda Kilian.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — It was a close call for a driver on Beltway 8 after a 9-inch piece of rebar came flying through her windshield. Amanda Kilian is thankful she's alive to tell her story."I was hysterical," Kilian said."It sprayed glass everywhere, all over my face, and my whole car was covered in glass."
Kilian decided not to pull over on the busy highway.It wasn't until she got back that she found what had actually come flying into her car. The heavy metal rod came out of nowhere.Her dog, Beau, usually rides in the passenger seat.But not on that day. Call it luck or divine intervention, but Kilian knows how lucky she was. She's grateful that her drive to the airport didn't turn deadly.
"I lived through 'Final Destination' because if it would've come through the driver's side, it would have impaled me, and I wouldn't be talking to you right now," Kilian said. It's the second time she's had a close call with flying debris on a Houston highway. Kilian said she's a bit traumatized to get back on the freeways, but said if you live in Houston, you really have no choice.
