"I do not want to die like that! The driver said that a leaky coil had swept her car on the I-10

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) –

Everyone who passed by a large reel seen driving on the East Freeway on Thursday could not avoid it.

Marie Cervantez was navigating on the highway in her Volkswagen Beetle just before the fiber optic cable reel came loose.

The dashboard of Cervantez's car shows a plateau with two spools on its right, but when it passes in front of you, you hear the spool come off.

Cervantez says she heard a violent shock and realized that she was hitting a bridge, driving a coil into the traffic.

This is the part of this story that many Houstonians will probably recognize since the spool fell on I-10 near Wayside during lunch break.

What you may not know is that a car has been affected and that it belongs to Cervantez.

She parked to check her insect, which she lovingly calls Bocho. It was only after watching the film that she noticed that the coil was hitting her back.

"Fortunately, no one was touched by that, everyone stopped, but I kept going because I did not know it hit me, until I I notice it, "explained Cervantez.

Cervantez says she's also putting a dashboard camera in the back of her car.
