A truck that was hauling a bunch of scrap metal crashed into a guardrail on an overpass near Orlando on Saturday and tipped over.
Then a huge metal pipe that weighed about SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS rolled out . . . fell off the overpass . . . and landed directly on a MINIVAN that was driving by.
The driver of the van was a 36-year-old father of three named Jesus Escobar. There’s a photo of the pipe still lying on top of the van, and the whole roof is caved in. But somehow he SURVIVED it with only minor injuries.
It looks like it landed on the passenger’s side, and then rolled to where his head was. But there was just enough room, so he didn’t get crushed by it. It’s literally the only seat he could have been in, and luckily no one else was in the car.
Jesus says the whole thing’s a blur, and he doesn’t remember it. But his family thinks someone upstairs must have been looking out for him. (WFTV / ClickOrlando.com)
