Producer/director Alan J. Pakula was killed in a car crash after a metal pipe lying in the middle of a highway was struck by another car and crashed through his windshield. But other than that, the details you describe of the accident and of his career don't match.

RiP, IMDb marianne48 's suggestion is the closest incident that I could find. Can find no one famous who was killed by a runaway wire spool. Alan J. PakulaHe was killed when a metal pipe smashed through the windshield of his black Volvo station wagon and struck him in the head. The seven-foot-long pipe was already in the roadway when another car gave it a glancing blow, sending it through Pakula's windshield. Then Pakula's car swerved across a service road and hit a fence. The accident happened about a quarter mile east of the Melville exit on the Long Island Expressway. He was taken to North Shore University Hospital at Plainview (Nassau County), where he was pronounced dead at 12:22 P.M.
