Man Struck By 50-Pound Dumbbell While Driving On New Jersey Turnpike Dies
Earlier this week, 75-year-old Jack DeCarlo died from his injuries after a 50-pound dumbbell came crashing through his windshield on January 9.
His wife was also in the car, but luckily she was not hurt.
Police have not said where they believe the dumbbell came from, but they did search a nearby overpass for any possible evidence.
The similar incidents happened about an hour from each other. It's unknown at this time if they are connected.
New Jersey State Police are continuing their investigation into both accidents.
