(WHDH) — Minnesota State Trooper dash cam footage shows a large piece of heavy duty plastic, which flew off of a dump truck, engulfing an SUV on a highway.

The driver said he saw what was about to happen, and was able to slow down so he could pull over.

MN State Police say this is a reminder for drivers to always keep their eyes on the road and off their phones. Additionally, they say this serves as a reminder for drivers to secure all loose items in order to avoid a deadly situation.
