Woman injured when tire iron crashes through car windshield on I-95 in Peabody

A woman was injured after a tire iron crashed through the windshield of a car she was in on Interstate 95 in Peabody Friday. 

It happened while the vehicle was heading northbound around noon. Massachusetts State Police said the tire iron went through the windshield and hit the woman. It is not known where the tire iron came from, and "there is no description of the vehicle that the tire iron came from." 

State Police originally reported that a tire and a "metal object about the size of a household screw" had gone through the windshield, but after receiving new information from the scene, they amended it to a tire iron.   

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Photos from the scene showed window damage to the passenger side of the windshield. It is not known if anyone else in the vehicle was injured from the debris. 

The right lane of I-95 was closed while crews worked to clean up the area. All lanes were open as of 12:50 p.m. Friday. 

Peabody, Massachusetts, is around 20 miles from Boston.
