CLOSE CALL: Davis County couple says kids threw a rock at their car while on freeway

SYRACUSE, Utah (ABC4) — A Davis County couple had a scary experience when something was apparently thrown off a pedestrian bridge at their car, narrowly missing the windshield. They believe the two who may be responsible are young children. The couple is sharing their story in hopes that parents will talk to their kids about how dangerous this is.

The Nickle’s dashcam footage shows what appears to be a rock falling from the pedestrian bridge that crosses over the West Davis Corridor near Antelope Drive in Syracuse. It also shows two people standing on the bridge in the same area of the bridge from where the object falls.

“It sounded like a firework went off in our car,” Stacie Nickle told ABC4. “Three of us were very confused about what happened.” Her husband, Mark, then added: “I immediately looked back at the review mirror running off the walkway.”

“One was small,” Mark said. “Maybe eight or nine years old.” He believes the other child may have been about six inches taller.
