Â Mr Berto Engelbrecht was on his way home on Friday afternoon via the N1 north when a rock was thrown through his windshield from the overhead Ben-Schoeman intersection bridge. Â "The road surface irritated me and I was driving across two of the lanes. Â The fact that I did that was only mercy and probably kept me from sustaining serious injuries." said Engelbrecht. "I heard one heck of a noise and saw glass shattering". Â The rock had hit his car on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
