An Uber driver who was transporting two passengers is lucky to be alive Monday after a collision sent scaffolding through his windshield in Los Angeles overnight.
The incident occurred around midnight as the Uber was traveling near Sunset Boulevard and North Reno Street in the Silver Lake neighborhood.
Video showed a piece of the scaffolding had gone into the vehicle, narrowly missing the driver’s seat.
The Uber driver said that another motorist caused him to drive his Lexus into the scaffolding but that driver left the scene before police arrived.
He said that the other motorist did exchange information with him but that he thought the driver may have been impaired.
The passengers inside the Uber were not injured in the crash.
