I think the Author is really downplaying this accident. A "Soda Can". I guarantee it wasn't a Soda Can. I have also read stories of Gas Powered Vehicles running over metal objects and it split opened the Gasoline Tank, caught on fire, and all Occupants were killed. You can't downplay running over a metal object on the road. Extremely dangerous. I'm glad your Wife is okay.
