Frustration mounts as rock throwing cases along I-35 continue
AUSTIN -- Out of nowhere, a rock the size of a softball came crashing down on Kenneth Johnson’s windshield while he was driving on the lower deck of Interstate 35 near Manor Road.
The rock hit his head, causing him severe brain damage.
Today, more than a year since he was injured on June 14, 2014, Johnson is still unable to talk and generally cannot walk without a cane, said his friend Alison Queen.
The incident was just one of 41 reported cases of rocks of different sizes being thrown onto the lower deck of I-35 in the past year and a half, with the latest one happening Thursday around 12:30 a.m. between Manor Road and 32nd Street, police said.
