A car passenger is "shaken up" after an axe flew off the back of a lorry on a motorway and crashed midway through the windscreen, police say.
Massachusetts State Police said the passenger was uninjured but they have fined a landscaper $200 for failing to properly secure the axe.
The incident happened around 11:00 local time on the busy I-95 motorway.
Police said if the driver had been going faster, the axe might have hit someone in the car.
"We are very thankful that this situation did not have a worse ending," state police said in a Facebook post.
"The passenger, who is partially seen in the photo, was shaken up (who wouldn't be?) but not injured," they wrote.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I'm amazed that the truck stopped.
Hell, I'm amazed it was registered!

Picked the wrong day to wear those white pants, didn't she?People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.
