DANBURY TOWNSHIP -- A woman driving near East Harbor State Park got a surprise when the windshield of her Toyota Matrix was smashed -- by a fish.

Leighann Niles, 35, of South Euclid, was driving south on North Buck Road at 11:17 a.m., when a bald eagle flying overhead dropped a fish on her windshield, Danbury Township Detective Sergeant Mark Meisler.

"It was approximately 8 pounds," he said.

The raptor also dropped the head of a second fish, Meisler said. Neither Niles, who was traveling about 40 mph at the time, nor her 5-year-old daughter were injured, he said.

The fish was a sheephead, also known as a freshwater drum.

"I've never heard of that before," Danbury Township police Chief Mike Meisler said
