KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Kansas City woman is avoiding driving under a bridge after a rock struck her car.
Heather Searls said she was driving home Thursday night on Southwest Boulevard under the 25th St. bridge when a rock hit and shattered part of her windshield.
Searls said there was one large rock and several other smaller rocks, and drivers were trying to avoid them.
Searls is worried the other rocks will fall and someone will crash and possibly get hurt or killed.
“I’m OK. I’m just really, really worried. There are so many cyclists and families that walk under that bridge that leads over there. I mean, there’s homeless people that live there. I mean somebody is going to get seriously, seriously injured," said Searls.
Chris Hernandez, a spokesman for Kansas City, said he will send a public works crew to check the road and the bridge and clean up the rocks on Southwest Boulevard.
But Hernandez added if the railroad company is responsible for the falling rocks then the railroad will have to make repairs and set up signs warning motorists.
Searls said she will find another route to get to and from work to avoid the bridge.
