Several teens in custody after rock thrown from I-75 overpass kills man
VIENNA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJBK) - A group of teens has been arrested in connection with a death on Interstate 75 earlier this week, according to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities say 32-year-old Kenneth White of Mount Morris was riding in a car Wednesday night in Vienna Township when he was hit by a rock thrown from a highway overpass. The rock smashed through the car's windshield and killed him.
The car was traveling southbound on I-75. Four other vehicles were struck with large rocks or concrete chunks.
