COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — A couple’s drive in Columbus came to a sudden stop after a brick ended up in their car. They said they hope no one else has to deal with a situation like this.
“We were five minutes from her house, we thought we had made it home, basically. And just makes you realize what can happen in a split second,” Cydney Ireland said. “It was a normal Christmas trip. We were calling friends, talking on the phone and really I just heard a huge thud.”
She was driving back to her parents’ house the Saturday after Christmas. She was on State Route 161 East on the northeast side when a brick ended up in the car. She said her fiancé, who was in the passenger seat, saw it come over a barrier wall on the side of the road.
“There’s no brick in that area, it’s a huge cement like sound barrier wall that runs that highway. There was no red brick that would have fallen off of the overpass so we knew immediately this was something that was thrown at the car and we got extremely extremely lucky,” she said.
