Police believe the rock was purposely thrown from a nearby rock cut into traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 1:45 p.m., Bracebridge officers responded to a second concern of a similar nature in the same area after a second victim\u2019s windshield and the hood of their vehicle was damaged. Fortunately, neither victim sustained injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This behaviour is extremely dangerous with potentially fatal consequences.
