PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – Jose Barboza has quite a story to tell after a 2 pound piece of junk got dangerously close to his life. “When it went through the windshield, it hit me in the shoulder first, then got it the other edge of my right earlobe cut in half, “said Barboza. The Phoenix real estate agent was driving east on the Loop 101 freeway to visit a client in Scottsdale when he suddenly pushed something off the road and came straight at him. The piece of metal shot through the windshield, but Barboza somehow managed to duck to the side – just in time. “I’m very grateful for my reflex because I only had noise and a shadow coming towards me.” said Barboza. “I moved to the left so as not to damage my face. Panic set in and survival mode. I’m glad I was in control and didn’t meet anyone else, but it was a pretty scary moment. ”Barboza was able to turn off the freeway, call 911 and assess his injuries. He remembers a lot of blood and pain, but considering he could have crashed his car or been hit in the face by the metal debris; he knows that this story could have had a very different outcome. “I’m grateful that I’m alive,” said Barboza. “It’s pretty hard when you see the size; it’s a pretty big piece. I’m just grateful that nothing else happened.” Despite Barboza gushing blood from his ear, he said he didn’t want to go to the hospital because … Covid-19 concerns. He called a nurse friend who was patching him up. Jason Barry is best known for his Dirty Dining Report, which airs on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. on CBS 5.
