A young mother is shaken but not hurt after a scary incident on the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge Friday afternoon.
Vancouver police said a northbound truck lost part of its load of lumber on the bridge deck, then a piece of metal from the truck flew off, striking the windshield of the woman’s car which was driving southbound.
Sgt. Steve Addison said the metal came close to hitting the woman, who also had her young child in the car.

The incident was cleared quickly but traffic in both directions on the bridge was affected.
