The Fremont County Sheriff’s Department says Deputies located the vehicle at a residence in the 2200 block of Waubonsie Ave. The board that penetrated the windshield became lodged just a few inches from the front seat passenger. Two minor children, including one seated in the front passenger seat escaped injury.

The Tabor Police Department, Tabor Rescue and Thurman Fire Departments assisted the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office with the call.
