Just as a recent incident and posted in a constructive manner. Not The Villages but a related story. So sorry for the Victim and all who knew her. Texas woman, 33, dies after large rock thrown from overpass crashes through car’s windshield

Keila Flores, 33, was killed after a large rock thrown from an overpass crashed through the car's windshield and hit her, police said.

A Texas woman died Saturday after someone reportedly threw a large rock from a railroad overpass, hitting the car’s windshield and crushing her while her boyfriend and children sat helplessly inside the vehicle.

Keila Ruby Flores, 33, was in the car with her boyfriend, Christopher Rodriguez, and her three children when the rock came crashing through the car’s windshield about 8:40 p.m. Saturday on Interstate 35, KWTX reported. Flores was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time.


"[We were] headed back to Waco on 35 northbound, all of sudden something just strikes the window," Rodriguez told KWTX. "An explosion just comes right through the window. I didn’t know what it was. I look over and I see Keila and she is laying there unresponsive.”

Rodriguez recalled “shaking” his girlfriend to wake her up.

“She was unresponsive,” he said, adding their daughter told him to call 911.

Temple police said an unidentified person threw the rock from the railroad track overpass that landed on Flores’ vehicle.

Flores was taken to the hospital with “significant injuries.” She was pronounced dead just after 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

Can we relate this story to the recently discussed Threads? Does it make covering New Bridges any more acceptable to everyone? Just imagine if it was a family member or someone you knew.
