A Texas woman says she “almost died” after a spear suddenly came crashing through her windshield, nearly hitting her as she was driving, video shows.

The woman was driving in San Antonio on the night of Aug. 20 when someone hurled the weapon at her car from the side of the road, she said in TikTok videos sharing the aftermath.

The spear pierced through the windshield but was blocked by the steering wheel, stopped just inches from where she was sitting, video shows.

Police arrived at the scene, near the 7600 block of U.S. Interstate 10, at about 9:30 p.m., according to an SAPD news release.

The 36-year-old didn’t see who threw the spear, and police said the attack appears to be random.
