Rocks thrown off I-70 overpass, up to 35 cars damaged

On Tuesday, September 12, three teenagers sat on a railroad overpass above I-70 East throwing rocks at the cars below, resulting in the damage of  thirty-five vehicles. They were arrested after police found them standing near the tracks. Police say they admitted to throwing the rocks soon after. Two of the three were 17 and considered adults, while the third was 16 and is being treated as a minor.

The seriousness of the injuries has not yet been confirmed; there are reports of someone being hospitalized with injuries due to shards of glass from their windows, but it is unclear how many people were injured or how. 

Earlier in the week, the State Highway Patrol received reports that are very similar to this one in the same area. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating, but no charges have been issued as of yet.
