A New Hampshire woman narrowly escaped injury when a sharp metal object shot through the driver's side of her Jeep on the Maine Turnpike Tuesday morning.

Maine State Police spokeswoman Shannon Moss said the 21-year-old woman from Litchfield was driving a red Jeep southbound in Gray when another vehicle kicked up a piece of metal into the air. The metal landed just inches from her face.
