I had a close call today. I was traveling at about 80 down the 401 which is similar to your interstate hiways. I was in the center lane with a transport in the right lane about 50 feet ahead. It ran over a wooden skid kicking it up in pieces about at a height of 3 feet. I had no time to react which was probable a good thing. I was hit by some of the smaller pieces. Had I been behind the transport, I would have had to ride through it and hope for the best.
