Lake Worth Police Chief J.T. Manoushagian told CBS 11, the driver ran off the road and into a hole.

That caused the load to shift which caused the big rig to flip, dumping scrap metal onto a car.

No one was hurt.

"The folks in the car are extremely lucky," Chief Manoushagian said.

The I-820 exit ramp at the Quebec and Jacksboro Highway entrance ramp was closed for cleanup and removal of the big rig and scrap metal.
