E. Hempfield man is
'one lucky dude'
Dennis Klingseisen says somebody was watching out for him Tuesday afternoon, as he drove north on Interstate 83 in York County.
The 42-year-old East Hempfield Township man was motoring home from Baltimore, when he saw drivers in front of him swerving to avoid something on the highway.
Then he saw something cartwheeling through the air.
Within seconds, a blunt, battered, 3-foot-long metal bar catapulted through his windshield, shattering a hole in the glass.
The bar was headed directly for Klingseisen's throat, "just below where you tie a knot in your tie," according to one astonished witness.
But by some miracle, the bar hit Klingseisen's steering wheel, flipped down and landed on his dashboard, instead of piercing Klingseisen's windpipe.

SINC SAYS:
I once had a piece of concrete off a cement mixer come right through my windshield back in 1972. That was one scary experience.
