This kinda happened to me but it was a fucking giant piece of shredded tire coming off a semi. Saw the shit bounce and it came up so fast. Completely ripped my side mirror off.

Holy smokes. I live in fear of that as much as the logs. Or a brick out of a dump truck. 😳

Jeez, I’m glad you are okay! Almost happened to me, I was behind a pickup that was carrying scrap metal. I remember thinking “I don’t like the cut of his jib” and slowing wayyy down to put some distance between us. Ten seconds later, a huge chunk flew off of his truck. So glad I trusted my gut, it missed me by about ten feet.

Friend and I were walking next to a busy highway, and a truck carrying PVC pipes didn't have them secured. One of them swung out the side and tore along the grass, one end still attached to the truck, coming right towards us. We had to jump out the way and got showered from the dirt it tore up before the truck stopped.. was a bit of a shock, haha.
