Fortunately, it didn't go all the way through, and Lock is okay.

Kansas Highway Patrol was there to help. They say the small piece of metal came from across the median.

One person on social media joked, "was it the Chiefs' equipment truck?" referring to the Broncos rival Kansas City Chiefs.

Another said "KC must be fearing Lock is going to have a good season trying to take him out early, just kidding. Glad everyone is OK."
