Lexington Man Lucky to Be Alive After Concrete Beams Fly Into Car

A Lexington man is lucky to be alive after a bunch of concrete beams fell off a moving truck and flew into his vehicle Thursday morning.

WHDH reported Vidon George was driving to work Thursday morning when the beams fell out and smashed his car on Trapelo Road in Waltham.

George was not hurt, for which he said he was grateful.

“It could have been a completely different day here,” he told WHDH.

NECN reported the driver of the truck will be charged for having an unsecured load.

The incident was reminiscent of an incident in Topsfield in July when an unsecured ax tore through the windshield of a passing car. No one was hurt in that incident. State Police followed up with a citation campaign to spread awareness of the importance of securing loads on trucks.
