A driver luckily escaped injury when a rock was thrown from a footbridge and crashed into her car on the M25. The windscreen of the woman’s car smashed in the ‘shocking’ incident and the rock also left a dent in the bonnet.
She was driving her grey Audi clockwise between Junction 8 (for Reigate) and Junction 9 (for Leatherhead) when the rock was hurled from a footbridge above. Surrey Police are investigating the incident which happened at about 1.45pm on Monday, June 23 and are urging anyone was in an area of Leatherhead around that time or any drivers with dashcam footage to contact them, as reported by Surrey Live.
A Surrey Police spokesperson said: “We are appealing for information after an object was thrown at a car from a footbridge over the M25.
