SAN ANTONIO – An investigation is underway in Texas after a woman said someone threw a spear through her windshield.

Shavone Canales was not injured when a spear went through her windshield and stuck into her steering column on Sunday, Aug. 20.

“It was not road rage or anything. This was unprovoked and just completely random,” she told KSAT.

She said she was driving to a friend’s house after 9 p.m. when her windshield shattered. She said she called 911 after she realized a spear had crashed through the glass and stuck into the steering column, just inches above her lap.

“I think they’re trying to intentionally hurt somebody,” Canales said. “I’m just thankful to be alive because I have kids.”

Local 4′s sister station KSAT has the full story online, including footage of investigators removing the spear from her car.
