A 32-year-old father was killed after a rock thrown off a highway overpass went straight through his windshield in Flint, Mich.

Kenneth White, who was 10 minutes away from home after completing a two-hour commute, was killed after several teens allegedly tossing rocks from atop an overpass threw a large rock that struck him, according to WXYZ - Detroit.

The object crashed through the windshield of the vehicle White was traveling in.

Police told the outlet that the teens, who did it as a prank, are now in custody. Authorities have not released their names or what charges the teens face.

White's uncle, Donald White, said that White was traveling with a coworker when the debris flew through the windshield.

Donald told WXYZ, “And he (the coworker) called my brother on the side of the road and said I am so sorry, I did everything I could, I couldn’t stop him from bleeding.”

White’s brother, Thomas, told the outlet that he “can’t figure out what goes through someone’s head to want to just throw stuff off a bridge with oncoming traffic.”

White was traveling home from his work in Au Gres, Mich.

...The O’Guinn Funeral Home is providing service at no charge to the family.

Theres no way they werent intentionally trying to cause physical harm. Unless they are all mentally retarded, they know what throwing a rock at someone will do.

This should be 1st degree murder. None of the animals should ever be let outside of a cage again th reest of their scumbag lives. FACTS. NONE of this can be argued.
 
I remember this was a commonplace thing the year my daughter was born.I was living in Michigan with my parents.Cops warned people to drive in the middle lanes when possible because they had so many incidents with punks throwing shit off overpasses.More chance to swerve if you are in a middle Lane unless they get a direct hit on your windshield like this poor guy.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

This isn't a "prank". It isn't a "joke" that went wrong. You weren't hoodriding for some laughs and some dude fell off and died.

This is a deliberate act to see how much damage you can do to the cars below and overall traffic. Period.

I can hear them screaming and giggling "OH MAN! HOLY SHIT DUDE!" as the realized they they had a direct hit.

Intentional. Fuck 'em.
 
I mean we dont really know them. Coulda been scumbags for all we know.
A working family man making a two hour commute to support his family hardly sounds like scum.
You and I both know the only scum in this story were the ass holes on top of that bridge chucking rocks on cars.

The criminals families are prob trash too.
 
Perfect!

I can see first degree possibly being a tough sell for the prosecutors, but I'll take 2nd degree murder.

Wish I could see these puny shitheads in their jailhouse orange. Cuffed, shackled, lower lips quivering as their mommies gasp out when they're escorted into the courtroom.

Good stuff.

Five teenagers from Michigan who tossed rocks from a highway overpass killing a father of four on his way home from work have been charged with murder...

The teen boys range in age from 15 to 17...

They have been identified as Alexander Miller, Mikadyn Payne, Trevor Gray, Mark Sekelsky and Kyle Anger.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton told WXYZ that Anger is the one who tossed the six pound rock that crashed through the windshield of the van Kenneth White was in.

...The rock hit White in the face and chest. A medical examiner determined that he died from blunt force trauma, WXYZ reports.

His injuries included a broken skull, brain damage and a cut on his chest.

According to the outlet, the teens told investigators they were playing a prank called "dinging," where they toss rocks to hear them ding the cars traveling below.

Leyton said 20 rocks were thrown with the largest weighing 20 pounds...

...Authorities said the teens discussed the prank before throwing the rocks, and then went to McDonald's afterwards.

Less than $200 to go to reach that goal. If he didn't have life insurance then, at the least, they do need enough to cover a funeral plus a few months of income to regroup and figure out what they can do going forward. That is, in fact, the current advice about how much life insurance one needs. It would be nice if they'd put a more comprehensive statement on the GoFundMe page, because I'd hate to think they'd actually spend that much on a just the funeral.
 
The driver told police he had to pass four other vehicles, which were disabled on the side of the road because of rocks, before he could pull over to get help for his friend.
[...]
Pickell and David Leyton, the county prosecutor, announced on Monday that the teens, ages 15-17, are being charged as adults with one count of second-degree murder each. They are also being charged with conspiracy to commit murder, six felony counts each of malicious destruction of property and two other lesser charges.

The funeral was free. He has four kids so I guess they need the money but fuck. They've made almost $70,000 now.
 
Read this morning they were denied bond.

Here's a link.

Crawford denied bail for all five citing "the seriousness of the nature of these charges and the danger to the public."

In total, the teens each face eight felonies and two misdemeanors in connection with White's death.

Anger is being held in the Genesee County Jail, while the other teens are being held in the Genesee Valley Regional Center for juveniles.

All face the possibility of up to life in prison.

Teens arrested in overpass death may have thrown other items

Police say the five teenage boys charged with the murder of a Michigan father who diedafter they threw a 6-pound rock from a highway overpass onto his car have thrown other items before.

Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell told People magazineon Thursday that the boys — identified as Alexander Miller, Mikadyn Payne, Trevor Gray, Mark Sekelsky and Kyle Anger — were allegedly involved in similar incidents over the past few weeks. Pickell said days before the death of 32-year-old Kenneth White, the teens allegedly threw a shopping cart and a chair from a highway overpass in Saginaw County.

Pickell did not say whether anyone was injured in that incident.

"In the last 30 days, there were a number of incidents on all of the (local) overpasses and one in Saginaw, which happened within the last 10 days," he said.

According to the sheriff, another incident involved a tire being thrown onto the highway below.

"There's a continuing behavior," Pickell told the outlet. "These (aren't) pranks. They're deliberate, intentional actions that knowingly could hurt people."

Earlier this week, the teenagers were charged as adults with second-degree murder in connection to White's death. They pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday...

...Aimee Cagle, White's fiancée, told ABC 12 their son has been asking for his father.

"To tell him he's not coming back has been hard," she said. "I try to explain. He's so young, he's only 5 years old, he doesn't understand."

A fucking shopping cart?!?!?

Can you even imagine driving on an interstate and seeing a shopping cart fly in front of you?

Yeah, this wasn't even a spur of the moment "prank". These pieces of shit have been doing this for weeks. With objects meant to do maximum damage.

Apparently they weren't happy with their lack of results so far.

I absolutely hope there are no plea deals in this case. Nail their asses to the wall and give them all LWOP.
 
Three of five Michigan teenagers aged between 15 to 17 have been found competent to stand trial after they were charged with second-degree murder in a deadly rock-throwing incident on Interstate 75.

A man died after the teenagers threw several rocks from the Dodge Road overpass that crashed through a van's windshield and fatally hit Kenneth White, 32, from Mt. Morris in October.

The evaluations show Kyle Anger, 18, Mark Sekelsky, 16, and Trevor Gray, 15, were mentally competent at the time of the incident and can understand their charges, David Leyton the Genesee County Prosecutor said.

Anger is said to be the one who threw the six pound rock that struck White's car.

Anger's, Sekelsky's and Gray's lawyers requested the exam to test whether they were mature enough to participate in the legal proceedings against them.

Attorneys for Alexzander Miller, 15, and Mikadyn Payne, 16, did not. All five boys are charged as adults with second-degree murder and other charges.

Prosecutor Leyton said: 'You want to make sure that person understands what they're charged with, what's gonna happen in court, what the role of the prosecutor is, what the role of the defense lawyer is, the role of the judges.'

KCRG reported that he added: 'You want to make sure the individual has the mental acuity, if you will, to follow through with the proceedings and to assist the defense lawyer. And me as the prosecutor, I want that too.'

Police said the five suspects took 20 rocks to the Dodge Road overpass and threw them at vehicles on I-75.

All five suspects could face life in prison for the second-degree murder charge. 'I don't think this was a deliberate attempt to take somebody's life. It was a willful and wanton act that resulted in somebody's death,' Leyton said regarding the charges.

Each is also charged with conspiracy to commit second-degree murder and malicious destruction of property.

The suspects are due to appear in court with their attorneys on Thursday for a hearing, which marks their first appearance since November.

The three attorneys for Anger, Sekelsky and Grey said they are reviewing the competency exam results and could still ask for an independent evaluation during Thursday's hearing.

Payne and Miller's attorneys did not seek competency exams for their clients.
