During a road trip to Disney World earlier this month, traffic proved to be the least of Chynna Higgins’ concerns.

The Massachusetts woman and her family were driving on the Florida Turnpike, eager to get to Disney, which at that time, was about an hour away. It was a little before 7 a.m. on Feb. 18, and Higgins said she and her kids were talking about the beautiful sunrise.

“Next thing I know, I hear a bang and it doesn’t register that I’ve been like hit,” Higgins recounted. “And the pain kicks in, and I grab my kids’ father, and I hold onto him. I was like, ‘I think I just got hit by a rock.’”

Her children’s father called 911 while Higgins quickly turned onto the shoulder of the road.

Her face was bleeding. There was a hole through her windshield. And on her lap was a Milwaukee battery.

“My kids were freaking out,” she told News 6. “I was just trying to calm them down.”

Florida Highway Patrol took a crash report, and an ambulance took Higgins to a hospital.

Higgins shared pictures that show a deep gash above her left eye. The injury required 11 stitches. Despite a visit to the hospital and a steep bill to have her car towed, Higgins and the family still went to Disney as planned.

“I definitely scared some kids at Disney,” Higgins joked, talking about the visible injuries to the left side of her face.

Due to the nature of her injuries, doctors advised Higgins not to go on any rides. Nonetheless, she is still riding high.

“Now I look back, and I’m convinced I’m going to be 140 years old,” Higgins said, laughing. “I just feel like I’m invincible and can’t die at this point.”

While Higgins has retained her sense of humor, she is serious about wanting to find out more about how this happened. She recently posted on a Central Florida Facebook group, asking if anyone driving in that area on Feb. 18 might have any dash camera footage shedding light on the incident.

A representative of the FHP told News 6 on Wednesday that the agency does not have any leads or updates in its investigation.

Higgins also would like to know who is missing a Milwaukee battery. But she doesn’t want anyone to infer that means she’s willing to part with it.

“I am keeping this,” Higgins said, holding the battery. “Even if they come forward, this is mine. Like, I had a blood bond with this thing.”
