DEL CITY, Oklahoma -- A metro woman was left with a gaping hole in her windshield after a large rock pierced through it Thursday evening during her commute home from work.

Paije Fauser showed News 9 pictures of a rock that smashed through her windshield and said the incident could've been horrible had her 2-year-old daughter been inside the car.

"All the glass from the window ended up on my little girl's car seat, thank goodness I didn't have my little girl with me, and thank goodness it didn't come through the driver side of the windshield, it would have hit me in the face and knocked me out and probably killed me," Paije Fauser said.

Fauser said she was driving eastbound on Interstate 40 and down Sooner Road where she said the incident happened at about 5:30 p.m.

"I'm guessing probably what happened is that some kids came up, threw a boulder or rock at my windshield," Fauser said. "I don't want this to happen to anyone else. I don't want anybody to get killed."

Fauser said she wasn't driving near any traffic or a bridge and hopes no one else gets hurt.

"I kind of froze and pulled over to the side, there were no vehicles and traffic was nice. I was in complete shock. I thank God because my angel was guiding me, because I don't know how I can keep this together," Fauser said.

The incident was reported to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Another incident reportedly happened near an overpass in the area Thursday evening but no one was hurt.

"I'm going to keep the rock, I don't think I'm going to get rid of it, it really goes to show God is looking after us," Fauser said.
