Interesting near-serious very weird accident

[MrBrightside]

So I live here in the midwest (Oklahoma) where we're currently still suffering effects from this ice storm. If you don't know there was two to two and half inches of solid ice covering everything. I litterlaly had to chisel it off my truck after it sat for four days. So I'm going to work..

On a highway, which has been plowed/sanded and generally in good shape. There is a full-size, but short bed pickup truck about 5 car lengths in front of me. I'm half asleep when suddenly I see some movement from the bed then there is an approximately 6 by 8 foot sheet of ice tumbling in midair towards me!!

The bed of the truck was, like mine, covered in ice. It lifted off thru some weird air flow in a single piece, flipping end over end really fast. I broke (hard) and it hit about a car length in front of me, shattering into a bazillion pieces. The thing probably weighed 150-200 pounds, who knows the damage it would have caused.

Needless to say, this freaked me out pretty bad. I caught my breath, and made sure to chip the ice from the back of my truck when I got home....

Also: I forgot this detail: the thing was so perfectly intact in one piece, I could see the indentations on the sides where the wheel wells were.
