    Happens about 1:10 in.

    A truck driver shared terrifying video of encountering a roadway obstruction shortly before a flying brick shattered his windshield.

    The video was captured in Saint Michaels, Arizona, and shared on Tuesday, December 22, by Facebook user Jason Mennifee.

    Mennifee says that the incident began when he spotted a wheelchair and a case of beer in the roadway as he was driving at night.

    As he was about to phone the police to report the obstructions in the roadway, a person standing on the shoulder of the roadway threw a brick at his truck, shattering his windshield.

    All of the most memorable nights start with a wheelchair and a case of beer.

    I'm wondering if the wheel chair and beer were distractions in order to make the passerby an easier target.

    I had one approach me at a rest area on the south side of the slab. The north side had it's own. She knocked on my window and asked me which direction I was going.

    On some show the other night a guy was so drunk he couldn't walk and stole a road paver to get home. He was going all of 5 mph when the cops got there.

    He was probably chasing his wife who drove off with the riding lawnmower they took to the bar.
