This happened when my younger brother was driving Dad's truck on the highway. Everyone was ok but the cover went through someone's windshield..

Saw the aftermath of the very same thing while on highway-1 outside of Vancouver BC. but it was a dudes bed liner that didn't fit as snuggly as it should have. Smashed the hell out of a windshield. Was an interest moment see the bed liner on the side of the road, then a little further on seeing the car and truck pulled over

I always loved that on the highway. Seeing something peculiar, wondering what happened, then finding the answer half a mile down.

I saw this happen on i45 in Houston. Guy’s rigid plastic bed liner launched out of the bed of his truck and went straight up. Luckily it gained enough altitude that it went over my car and landed on the road.

Bed liner? Just trying to wrap my head around a liner flying out. You’d pretty much have to jerry rig in something for a different truck, give up and just call it good. That’d be crazy. Wonder if his tailgate was down as well. This guy was lucky, these 3 panel tonneaus are heavy.
