Well this past weekend the rock thrower on 35 claimed 13 victims and one of them is a Co worker. She is OK but rattled.

She was hit Saturday night. Now we work at an engineering firm and as such everyone is an amateur sleuths.

We had her not tell us what or where it happened to see if we could figure out how the damage was caused.

The damage done was a rip in the hood on the driver side. The damage caused a furrow about three inches long ending in a ripped dam toward the windshield. The channel is about the width of a thumb ending with a two inch high metal fold. A foot in front of the windshield and 10 inches over from the driver side fender.

The angle of impact is low and the stone bounced up and off the back of the roof cross wise on the car. From this, you have to love an engineer with a problem in his teeth, we deduced she was on the inside lane lower deck of the highway and the stone was flat and about the size of a tennis ball. She confirmed where she was hit.

We think the fool is using some device to launch his rocks from an on coming car to do this damage and not from a bridge.

So if you must travel 35, use the upper deck and outside lane or find another way through Austin.

Interesting.


A dash cam would have been quite useful.

Good info. You should post it in our ongoing rock thrower thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_8_8/599875_Austin_PD_Releases_data_on_70_Rock_Throwing_Incidents.html

I hope they catch this S.O.B. before he kills someone or seriously injures any more people...  They should disembowel him over a fire ant mound in 100+ degree heat.

Need to string those cunts up when we catch them.

 

Too late...someone already has been seriously injured last year from this.
