“He is lucky to be alive,” Battalion Chief Todd Lynch said of the driver, who suffered only minor injuries from the glass shards shooting through the cabin.

The origin of the metal wasn’t known.

Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the incident, which happened around 3:30 p.m. on the northbound side and about a mile south of Woolbright Road.
