A woman in Ohio is telling a fish story about one that got away – from a bird, and damaged her car.
Authorities in northwest Ohio said a Lake Erie freshwater drum, known as a sheepshead, smashed a car windshield Tuesday when an eagle dropped the fish from a height of about 40 feet.
Leighann Niles said the impact felt like a brick hit her Toyota. The woman from the Cleveland suburb of South Euclid was vacationing along the lake in Marblehead.
Replacing the windshield cost $250.
Niles had thought herself lucky to escape damage in another animal encounter shortly before the fishy one. She said a truck hit a small bird, which struck her back passenger door and startled her 5-year-old daughter.
