Scary: Flying ladder hits windshield on Nevada highway

A woman driving along a Nevada highway had a scary moment when a ladder bounced off her windshield, KTNV reported.

Madi Nelson was driving on U.S. 95 near Las Vegas when a van ran over a ladder on the highway, the television station reported. Video obtained by KTNV shows the ladder going airborne after a van drove over it and bouncing off Nelson's windshield, cracking it.

"From across the right lane, the ladder kind of rolls and everyone else kind of rolls over it. I was in the far left lane, so I was just able to get over to the emergency lane. I threw my hazards on and I was just trying to figure out what just happened," Nelson said.
