The BC Highway Patrol says an object that smashed through a driver’s window on Highway 1 on Thursday, leaving them in critical condition, is believed to be a large rock the size of a volleyball.
Police said it appears the rock came off another vehicle and was not dropped from an overpass
As Global’s Aaron McArthur reports, we’re also hearing from another driver who says she narrowly escaped injury on the same stretch of road last month.

If it came from a passing truck ? then that truck driver should really be investigated.
Regular vehicle inspection is part of the routine for the trucking business. How do you not notice a "volleyball sized" rock on your vehicle?
OMG, I hope this person is OK……?
I doubt rock would hit this car.if it was rock then front windshield whould have totally destroyed but it seems like front windshield still intact to the car.
How did they find a person to interview who had a similar incident happen? Did they put out a call for people who may have had a comparable situation? Did Sadie call Global News to tell her story about what happened to her? Did they comb through police reports to find someone to interview?
Stupid cops scouring the road for pebbles get on with searching cameras and not wasting tax payers money more
Highway traffic cams would pick this up…That rock was not there very long
0:04 "rock went right through the front windshield" photo shows REAR WINDOW smashed out
Rocks should be registered!
A rock the size of a volleyball weighs a considerable amount, if another vehicle hit it to make it fly off the overpass would of course sustained major damage if not crashed. Good luck there, so the only answer is person involved.
Why would Trump do this?
Having a sunroof can kill you from a big rock
Sounds like copycat of the "Three Colorado teens deadly rock throwing".
They threw large rocks from their vehicle at vehicles going in the opposite direction.
Those tandem dump trucks are often the source of rocks, gravel and construction debris. Rocks and pebbles picked up at construction sites get lodge between the wheels and get flung out when the truck is at speed along with loose load material from the dump bed.
That doesnt look like the rock went through the windshield. Theres no hole. It does, though, look like the car sustained damage on the front passenger side most likely with a collision with something or another vehicle. Was the person injured by a subsequent collision from the rock's surprise impact and not the rock itself? Why am I reporting this better than the news?
Sadie can’t form a sentence without the word “ like “
Clearly someone throw it from another car. The guilty person needs to go to jail for 10 years
Thats insane.. this could be from just a couple reasons. Lose load on a dumptruck that hit the cars windshield. Or someone threw the boulder. The latter is disturbing
The rock could of been on the road already, a vehicle could of hit it from the other side, sending it over. I wonder if the victim had a passenger or were they driving alone in the hov lane?
i suspect of someone throwed it
Not going to stop everyone get dash cams ok there cheap if u want 15 bucks gets them
