A New Jersey man was driving to Queens Tuesday evening when he got an unexpected surprise — a piece of the Queensboro Bridge crashed through his Mercedes Benz.
Andrew Campbell, 40, of Bergenfield, was heading to an indoor soccer game in Jackson Heights when he said a large screw and a piece of metal shattered the windshield of his white luxury car about 7 p.m. on the bridge’s lower level.
“I was stunned, it sounded like a gunshot when it hit the windshield,” Campbell said. “It was totally unexpected. I was very shocked. I’m grateful I’m okay.”
Campbell said he was not injured by the glass, and kept driving until he reached Long Island City, where he parked near a nearby footbridge.
A good Samaritan flagged two cops in a K-9 unit, and Campbell said two transportation inspectors inspected the debris.
“It was totally unexpected,” he said. “I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
The Department of Transportation did not immediately return a call for comment last night
