A Mobile man called it “a blessing from God” when he arrived home safely after an almost deadly drive home from Daphne.

Brent Carlson was driving home in his Hyundai Genesis Wednesday night from Signature Training Studios, where he is a personal trainer in Daphne, when he noticed something on Interstate 10 westbound near the Dauphin Island Parkway exit.

Initially, Carlson thought it was just trash in the road. He said he didn’t have time to avoid it and drove over it.

‘It sounded like a shotgun’
