A man was just minutes from home after a 2 hours travelling from his construction job when he was struck and killed by a rock allegedly thrown by teenagers from a Michigan overpass.
According to WXYZ, 32-year-old Kenneth Andrew White was sitting in the passenger seat of a van when the large rock went through the windshield and hit him. He was knocked unconscious and was announced dead when he was taken to the Hurley Medical Center in Flint.

“He was a good man and a good father,” said Cagle. “For some senseless act, for it to be just a rock, just to take him so soon.”
On a GoFundMe page created to raise money for White’s burial expenses, the young mother spoke of her heartbreak and gave her thanks tp those who donated for their support.
“This was my heart that was destroyed… but i just wanted to say thank you to all who have donated! There is still kindness and love out there i just hate that its because of the travesty. He was my best friend and the love of my life. Thank you to all.
White’s sister, Alicia Waskoski, reported to The Detroit News that her brother “loved being a working man.”
“He liked being outside and throwing a football around, video games and sports,” she added.
Several teens were arrested, and law enforcement sources told WXYZ News that the group – who has not been identified yet – were allegedly throwing the rocks as a prank.
The Detroit News reported that the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office was investigating the incident as a “potential homicide.”

BREAKING NEWS: 7-year-old Mauled To Death By Dog In Lowell
Lowell Police answered a report regarding an injured child at his home on Clare Street in Lowell at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
Upon arrival, authorities found a 7-year-old boy, but officials say he was already deceased. Preliminary investigation suggests the boy entered a fenced area and was attacked by two pit bulls on the other side.
“I heard someone yelling ‘It’s my baby! It’s my baby!’ and I came to find out that it was my daughter’s friend’s son,” said neighbor Annmarie Dizazzo.
Following the attack, one of the pit bulls escaped the enclosed area, but was found and euthanized shortly after.
Animal control currently has the other dog in custody.
The Middlesex County DA’s Office said they will not release the boy’s name.
The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed yet.
According to authorities, the hazmat team investing the white substance concluded it was a non-toxic baby powder.
BREAKING NEWS: Two Naked Children Covered In White Powder, Including Dead Baby, Found In Parking Lot
Authorities found an unconscious woman and her two small children in a Los Angeles parking lot on Thursday, covered in layer of white powder. The youngest child, a baby girl, later died.
Los Angeles Times reports that around 1:45 a.m. on early Thursday morning, police responded to a call regarding a screaming woman on San Pedro and 23rd St. When they arrived, they discovered a woman, her 8-year-old daughter, and a 1 to 2-month old baby, all covered in a white powdery substance. The woman, assumed to be around 26 or 27 years old, was lying unconscious in a parking lot behind a business. Her children, also unconscious, were found lying next to her.
Authorities rushed the family to a local hospital. While the woman was now in stable condition, the 8-year-old girl was listed in stable condition. The baby did not make it, but it’s still unclear what caused the death.
According to Sunhee Chung, a woman who manages a nearby liquor store, the mom and her children were in the parking lot on Wednesday night, all naked and covered in white powder. The woman stood on the corner breastfeeding the infant. Shortly after, the woman reportedly began walking car to car, trying to open the doors on each vehicle.
Johnett Green, a neighbor, told police she saw the woman arguing with her boyfriend earlier that night. She indicated that the boyfriend would often scream and curse at her, and once broke a window looking for her. Green said the woman appeared to be sober.
“That’s why I’m very amazed and wondering how in the hell this could happen,” Green said.
Officers reported responding to a deadly assault threat earlier that night at the home where it the woman was said to live. LAPD Lt. Chris Ramirez noted white powder in one of the rooms, but with no evidence of a crime, they left.
CBS LA reports that the hazmat team is currently processing the white powder to determine what it is.
The woman and her children had no signs of external injuries.
