Kansas City, Kan. — A Kansas City, Kan., couple say a stuffed animal possibly saved their lives after a rock thrown from an Interstate overpass crashed through their windshield.
Brian and Karen Smith and their teenage children were coming home from a Thanksgiving celebration in Weston, Mo., when a rock came through the windshield near an overpass on Interstate 635.
WDAF-TV reports Brian Smith was in the passenger seat when the rock came through and hit a stuffed dog on the dashboard, instead of him.
Karen Smith says everyone in the SUV was covered in glass when she pulled over to the side and called 911.
A firefighter who responded to the scene said he thought he was going to find someone dead because of the size of the hole in the windshield.

so random and so scary. It happened to me once, only it was just a small pebble/rock thrown off an old railroad bridge (unused). However, it was a brand new car and I was really mad about that. It was in the days before cell phones, so I called the cops when we got where we were going, but the kids were long gone by then.
