The pregnant wife of a man killed by a boulder that crashed through the window of their car near Los Angeles is pleading for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for pushing the rock off an overpass.
The California Highway Patrol says someone pushed the 35-pound (16-kilogram), basketball-sized rock off a freeway overpass in Pasadena late Tuesday, sending it smashing through the windshield.
Twenty-three-year-old Christopher Lopez, who was in the passenger seat of the Toyota driven by his wife, was killed.
Guadalupe Gutierrez was unhurt, as was their 4-year-old daughter in the back seat.
Gutierrez fought back tears Thursday as she asked for potential witnesses to come forward.
The highway patrol says investigators believe someone purposefully pushed the boulder into westbound lanes of State Route 134.

pleading for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for pushing the rock Not enough; She should be pleading that this vulture receives מיתה על ידי סקילה in full public view. How horrifying that this embryo shall never know/meet his/her Father הי”ד
ugh terrible
Thank goodness she was the one driving or else there would have been two lives lost. A shame the boulder didn’t just land on the empty road between cars or at least on the roof. The odds of it hitting the window is actually really low which makes me wonder if there were rocks being thrown one after the other until the person throwing got a hit. Someone may have caught this on their dashcam.
