10/30/2007 FREDERICTON, N.B. -- A Nova Scotia trucker and his wife are lucky to be alive after a barrage of rocks dropped on his truck, shattering the windshield and covering him in broken glass.
David Parker told the Daily Gleaner that he and his wife Roberta were hauling a Toronto-bound load on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Oromocto when the "windshield just exploded in front of (him)." Instinctively, he pulled the vehicle into the next lane. Luckily there was no other vehicle there.
He added there's a good chance he would have rolled the truck if he would have veered off-road to the right, instead of changing lanes to the left.
RCMP suspect young people are responsible for the rock attack, the Gleaner reports. The incident was one of three similar attacks reported to police on Sunday and five overall over the last month. It's mostly tractor-trailers traveling along that section of highway that are being targeted, police warn. Anyone with information on these incidents is asked to call District 2 RCMP at 357-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
