Mike Prisco, 29, said he was driving by a construction site in the Little Italy neighborhood at about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday when the steel beam crashed through the roof of his pickup truck, missing his head by less than a foot, the New York Post reported Thursday. Advertisement "I was on the phone with the locations manager, and I heard a loud bang and jumped up," Prisco said. "I thought I was rear-ended and I got out, and I saw a beam sticking out of my roof." "I feel very lucky," he said. "I almost died." Prisco said his vehicle was struck while he was scouting locations for "Another Night in Suck City," a film starring De Niro and Paul Dano.
