First A Dumbbell, Now Flying Hammer Smashes Car On N.J. Highway

A flying hammer struck the windshield of a car on a New Jersey highway on Thursday, police said - just weeks after a flying dumbbell smashed a windshield and killed a driver.

Police want to know who's responsible for the hammer hitting a Lexus ES3 on the Garden State Parkway at 3:21 p.m.

Bloomfield Station troopers responded to the Woodbridge incident at milepost 134.3 northbound. The driver sustained minor injuries.

The incident is currently under investigation. Further details will be released when they become available.

On Jan. 9, a dumbbell smashed a car on the New Jersey Turnpike southbound side at milepost 6.6 in Oldman's Township, sending 75-year-old Jack DeCarlo of Hamilton, Mercer County, to the hospital, according to police.

DeCarlo died Tuesday, police said. Patricia DeCarlo, 57, suffered minor injuries, police said.
