Rocks Thrown at Passing Vehicles in St. Clair County

You would think by now people would know better.

A Michigan family says they were driving down Palms Road in St. Clair County Sunday night when something suddenly hit their vehicle, bounced through an open vehicle window, and struck a passenger in the shoulder. There was obvious damage to the hood and windshield.

According to WXYZ, Tom Agbay was driving with his son, TJ, when they heard a loud bang. TJ said whatever was thrown came through the window, hit him, and bounced away. His first reaction was thinking he had been shot.

 Michigan Drivers Still Remember the Fatal I-75 Rock Throwing Case

Stories like this hit a nerve in Michigan because we've seen how deadly these situations can become.

Back in 2017, five teenagers were accused of dropping rocks from an I-75 overpass near Vienna Road in Genesee County. One of those rocks crashed through a truck windshield and killed 32-year-old Kenneth White.

Police say they are investigating and taking the incident seriously. It's a hard lesson to learn, but these kids need to understand there are consequences for actions like this. Somebody could have been seriously hurt, and they should absolutely be held accountable if they're responsible.
