LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man and his step-son were left shaken after a piece of metal crashed through their windshield Monday morning.

It happened around Billtown Road in Jeffersontown. Shannon Sheehan said the metal crashed through his windshield, injuring him and his 18-year-old step-son.

Sheehan said his son had to go to the hospital to get glass fragments removed.

Photos of the vehicle show shattered glass and a huge hole left behind. Sheehan said he doesn't know what the object was, but believes it came flying through the air.

"Something came through the sky," he said. "It happened so fast and it sounded like a bomb hit my car and it was like glass and debris went flying everywhere."

Jeffersontown police said the FAA ruled out the metal being from a plane. They haven't found the source yet, but say there is a ot of construction going on in the area where it happened.
