A driver had a terrifying ordeal when a brick thrown from a bridge smashed through his front windshield while he was travelling at 50mph on the motorway.
The brick was thrown by a figure stood on the bridge crossing Junction 5 of the M621, heading southbound towards the M1.
Rik Nichol, from Wakefield, was was left shaken by thoughts of what could have happened after the shocking incident on Wednesday (September 24).
The 45-year-old said: "To be honest it pretty much caught me by surprise, I spotted him up there but didn't think much of it and as I was changing lanes my focus was on my mirrors.
"Only when I glanced back I realised he actually thrown something and by then I couldn't react quick enough. Only when I calmed down did I realise how serious it could have been.
"Luckily cars behind backed off when they saw what happened. It took a of seconds to contemplate what had actually happened, had I completed changing lanes it could well have hit right at my face."
We have contacted West Yorkshire Police for comment.
