Fairmont, Minnesota
The State Patrol is seeking information from the public that might lead investigators to whoever dropped a bowling ball off a bridge over Interstate 90 that smashed through the windshield of a truck, seriously injuring the driver.
Ted Maki, 54, of Missoula, Mont., was eastbound at 70 mph, hauling mail from Seattle to Philadelphia, when the bowling ball hit him in the face around 12:15 a.m. Sunday near Fairmont.
In the front of the cab, just to the right of the driver's seat, was a bowling ball.
His rig then went through the median, crossed both of the westbound lanes, plowed through a fence and came to a stop in a corn field about a half mile down the road, the State Patrol said.
Maki was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Rochester with facial injuries. He was released Monday. A passenger in Maki’s truck escaped injury. No other vehicles were involved.
“We don’t know if it was a young or old person who could not fathom the consequence,” said Jacalyn Sticha, a State Patrol spokeswoman. “This type of behavior is not a prank, it’s assault, and can be disastrous. We are thankful that his injuries were not any more severe. This could have been much more tragic.”
