The family were on the interstate in Colchester when a pickup behind them was forced to brake. Re-bar on the truck's roof slid forward and flew through the car, piercing the top of the child's safety seat, inches from the baby's head.
The baby wasn't hurt.
The truck's driver was ticketed for an unsecured load.
