It was a terrifying moment for a young woman driving along Henry Lawson Drive in Sydney's south-west on Saturday night. As she made her way towards Boomerang Reserve, a four-kilogram rock suddenly crashed through her windscreen, causing severe injuries to her bones and muscles. The incident was no accident, as police later discovered that an 18-year-old had purposely dropped the massive rock from a height of 20 metres above the ground.
Authorities were immediately alerted and a search was conducted with the help of police officers and dogs, but the culprit was nowhere to be found. However, their efforts paid off as the 18-year-old was eventually arrested and charged with damaging or destroying property with the intent of endangering a life. The fact that someone would deliberately cause harm to another person in such a reckless manner is truly shocking.
According to NSW Police Inspector Matthew Waring, the driver's injuries could have been much worse, or even fatal. He expressed his disbelief at the situation, stating that it was purely luck that the victim only suffered severe bruising. It's a frightening reminder of how easily life can be endangered by the actions of others. The 18-year-old was set to appear in Bankstown Local Court to face the consequences of their reckless behavior.
It's a relief that the perpetrator has been caught and will be held accountable for their actions. The incident serves as a reminder to always be aware of our surroundings and to never take our safety for granted. It's fortunate that the victim will recover from their injuries, but it's a sobering reminder of the potential consequences when someone's reckless actions put others in danger. Let's hope that this incident serves as a lesson for the 18-year-old and others who may be tempted to engage in dangerous behavior.
