While police do not believe the rock was dropped from an overpass, they still haven’t determined exactly where it came from.
Angela Jung has the latest on the investigation, and details about the driver.

All women too. Mothers. Daughters. ?
Thats why duallys have way smaller gaps in other countries
More often this day, my car has been getting hit by gravel rocks on the highway.
Finger prints on rock
Very sad news.
Quality of life is going down the toilet in Canada.
Last time a large generator, size of an air conditioner, dropped from the truck before me and came flying towards my windshield. Luckily i swerved and there was no car next to me otherwise I would have died. The truck in front kept going and was clueless what happened.
more immigrant truck drivers?
Why are people blaming truckers, you do understand that ALL of your products are delivered by trucks?
AND THAT IS WHY NO ONE BELIEVE THE FAKE MSM NEWS ANY MORE.
Although we don't know for sure if it was from a commercial vehicle or not, this should be a reminder that dangerous loads must be secured extremely well with no margin for error.
We need to ban assault style rocks! Come on justin!
Must be an Indian International student on top of that bridge
Someone ask the police what "baffled" means
Kids throwing rocks
So rock stuck between truck tires can be catapulted after the truck sped up…
Reduce the commercial vehicle's speed and police keep their ? eyes on the roads safety.
Stop ? your police car immediately and remove the ??? dangerous materials from the roads, than drive-by.
Why are they hiding the boulders identity?
Always be ready for your day!
This accident is tragic. But a volleyball-sized rock got picked up in a tire? That size doesn't make any sense. Who writes these stories?
R.I.P
I wonder if the rock came out of the tracks of a tracked machine being transported on a trailer ?
I was driving to on Seattle on i5 from vancouver one night and i noticed all these sparks ahead of me near the pavement it was a hitch ball and coupler dancing at 70 miles per hour right in front of me, must have come off of someone's truck ahead of me. Lucky for me it went right underneath my vehicle at 70 mph and didn't hit me or my vehicle. Sometimes luck is on our side.
in between truck tires like a canon that's one i havn't heard before
That’s horrifying actually. Rip.
'we dont know' where else could it come from, the sky?
Highly likely it was thrown off the overpass.
BC truckers are the worst in the country. They can’t strap a load if their lives depended on it. They weave in and out of the fast to slow lane like they were driving sports cars, speed, love to corner at speed then tip and loose their loads, often drive with missing lights, park brakes smoking away, loads on fire while driving, regularly drive into things such as bridges and tunnels. And BC Transport police are nowhere to be found. It’s just another day in lawless BC.
No remote viewers on BC highways? Prayers
Unfortunately this has become too common in Edmonton, especially on the Whitemud pedestrian overpasses and as recent as just two months ago. A couple of years back the same size rock was thrown off and went through the windshield of a school bus killing the driver.
thats very unfortunate. rip.
it could have been mischief…kids throwing rocks off bridges happens a lot in towns and near cities….kids to horrible things sometimes, like throw rocks off bridges
Semis have been driving in the left / fast / passing lane FAR too much lately.
Show us images of the rock!!! Lackluster reporting again from Global news.
Pathetic , do your job better
So sad
Meteorites fall during the day also..duh?
Punjabi truck driver. usual suspects
This was happening in Edmonton, Alberta. There's a lot of sick people out there.
You're a YouTube legend
Over filled dump trucks, always been a big problem
