The metal was somehow kicked up on the freeway and sliced into her hood, then knocked a hole right through the passenger side windshield.
Luckily, no one was sitting in the passenger side at the time.
The hood of the Kia was left with a large gouge and the windshield had a softball-sized hole in the glass.
The driver was able to exit the freeway and wait for help.
She was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
