Authorities believe the culprit was driving westbound, and when the opportunity arose, the person would toss a heavy brick out the window, hoping to hit the oncoming cars.

Seriously...and people wonder why I prefer to drive such a large truck! In any event, I sincerely hope that if the cops don't catch up with this clown that karma does.

When they catch this or these nutjobs, the charge should be nothing less than attempted murder. Hurling a brick that bashes through a windshield at 100 mph is nothing short of that!

Life imprisonment isn't enough for this scumbag. I have zero tolerance for this type of behavior.

I would think if the bricks are being tossed from a car the chances of them going through the windshield of a large pick up would be nil..maybe hit the grill where as a sedan with the windshield lower the chances greatly improved.

I was actually half kidding but njkate is basically right. The grill of my truck (F-350) is about level with most people's windshields.
