Remember the flying plank post, where the driver accidentally recorded a roadside debris that was picked up by the rear tire of a truck, sending it through her windshield with only inches to spare from having it turning into a Final Destination-ish scene? It is only a matter of time before the dash cams No.1 fans, the Russians, to record a similar footage which could match the horror that it brings, which they had just got one.
A mother and her child were travelling down a highway in a Volkswagen Golf Plus. The traffic on the roads were smooth, the weather was fine too; almost nothing to indicate what was going to happen in the next few seconds which could also turn to be their last.

While she was keeping her focus on her lane to ensure their safe journey, a car crash took place on the opposite lane of the road they were travelling. Although the metal barrier separating the lanes might have saved them from being hit by the crashing cars themselves, it could not block off the small flying debris, which one of them was in a form of what it seems like a piece of metal from the barrier that went straight through the VW’s windshield.
And once again, it is better to leave the gore-ish scenes for the movies as both the occupants escaped this accident without a scratch. Playing with the possibilities, if only the debris was a bit larger or if there were more of them, a different ending might have taken place which would not definitely involve smiles and sighs of relief.
