    A 12-year-old Silver Lake boy, who steered his mother's car to safety after a freak accident, is a hero this morning.

Andrea Shepherd, 33, of Silver Lake, was incapacitated about 2 p.m. Wednesday when a 6-pound chunk of metal from a passing semi tractor/trailer smashed through the windshield and struck her in the face. Andrew Shepherd, who was in the back seat with his 5-year-old sister, Ashley, quickly jumped into the front seat, steered the car off the road and braked it to a stop before blowing the horn to attract the attention of passers-by.
