Woman nearly killed when spear smashes through windshield as she drove on Texas highway
The New York Post ^ | 08/22/2023 | Patrick Reilly

A woman narrowly escaped death after someone threw a spear through her windshield while she was driving on a Texas highway.

Shavone Canales was traveling on Interstate 10 in San Antonio around 9:30 p.m. on Monday when the metal weapon smashed through her front windshield, according to police.

Fortunately, the spear was stopped by her steering wheel and Canales was not injured.

She said she never saw the suspect.

“Somebody knows something, so I’m hoping somebody comes forward because that is so dangerous. Because if it’s not me, it’s going to be somebody else,” Canales told News4 San Antonio.

She posted on TikTok after the terrifying ordeal that shows the massive, 5-foot spear protruding from the front passenger side of her gray car with the sharpened tip lodged in the steering wheel.

The front seats were littered with broken glass.

“So, yeah, guys I almost died, somebody threw a spear through my car tonight,” Canales said. “It went into my steering wheel and everything.”

Canales posted a second clip showing a stunned police officer removing the spear from the car and holding it up for the camera.

“That is crazy,” Canales. “Look how big that is.”

The officer holding the weapon said it didn’t feel that heavy — maybe about five or six pounds — but noted it could travel a significant distance if thrown.

“You could have died,” he said.

Before touching it eight ways to Sunday, it might be a good idea to at least try to get some fingerprints off it.

I for one will be VERY interested in the follow up to this story. I never saw a Spear Chucker around San Antonio when I was traveling through there a lot about 20 years ago.
