Chunk of concrete from ‘structurally deficient’ Md. bridge falls, smashes woman’s car

MORNINGSIDE, Md. (WJLA) – Sixty-four-year-old Katherine Dean says she had no idea what hit her Chevy Malibu Tuesday just before 5 p.m. Tuesday.

“I was, like, in shock, because it felt like a bomb hit my car,” she said.

Dean says the force of the impact forced her car off the road, where she remained bewildered for a few moments. She says while driving in Morningside, a chunk of concrete fell off the I-495 bridge that goes over Suitland Road and crashed onto her car. The windshield is now caved in and covered in debris.

“Most of the impact was on the front hood and the front glass,” Dean said.
