KIRKLAND, WA -- It came out of nowhere for a couple driving along Interstate 405; a 4-foot pickaxe went flying right through their windshield of their Mercedes SUV.
"All of a sudden I saw something fly up in the air, looked like an ice climbing axe, next thing there was a loud pop and it came through the windshield and got wedged in the seat between the two of us." They say the pickaxe soared off the back of a truck just ahead of them.
"Thankfully both Maxine and I wear glasses so we didn't have any glass in our eyes," says Henning, "but I'm afraid that we might have, had we not had glasses."
The photo is freaky! The Hennings were able to provide a good description of the truck, but so far it has not been located. In Washington state, it's a serious crime for a load to come unsecured and hurt someone. Convictions usually result in a year in jail, and $5,000 in fines.
