On a Southern California highway, a moment of carelessness became a near-fatal encounter when unsecured metal pipes transformed into projectiles, piercing a sedan's cabin by inches. The driver survived, but the incident opens onto a quieter, ongoing tragedy — tens of thousands of crashes each year born not from malice, but from neglect. It is a reminder that the road is a shared covenant, and the failure to secure a load is a breach of that covenant with consequences that fall on strangers.
