BURLINGTON, Ky. — At approximately 10:30 p.m. Saturday night, 64-year-old William Wehner was seriously injured when a rock was thrown through the windshield of his car as he traveled north on KY-237 near Country Club Lane in Burlington.
The Boone County Sheriff's Office say a large rock came through the windshield, causing facial injuries. Wehner was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Wehner was able to pull his car off the road after the rock struck.
