I was in Houston working at a Gulf service station (full service!) in 1962. It was just before closing time and an almost new Buick/Oldsmobile (?) pulled in with a badly damaged windshield. The man and wife were regular customers so we stayed late to give them a little help. They had just come off the highway and drove straight to the station, hoping we'd still be open. We vacuumed the car front, back, and trunk as well as we could. He said they had been behind a truck for several miles, with traffic heavy enough that passing was too dangerous. He said that his wife had been sitting beside him for several miles, but had moved over toward the passenger side door. He said she was just settling down and 'bam', something came through the windshield just below the mirror. We found what we believed to be part of the rim/wheel of the truck in the trunk. It had passed through the windshield, the back of the front seat, through the back of the back seat, and made a deep dent in the car body just below the trunk lid. His wife was really lucky that night!!

I had a very large Lump of rock bounce off a Passing Truck &
fly Through the Windshield Past my head.
When I pulled over to see what it was, I found it on the floor behind my seat.

truckers insurance never paid. he insisted he only carried Coal, so no reason for a rock on his truck

It didn't come from space I only wish it did.

at least back then Junk yards sold Windshields for $35.00
