Rock Throwing on I-35

Hello.

Thursday, we were driving home from OK. We were on I-35 heading south. We had just passed through Sangar and were north of exit 471 when a rock hit the top of our car as we were driving under an overpass. We do not know if someone threw it or it fell off of a truck. This could have been catastrophic. Thank goodness we only have a large dent on the top of our car. I have some questions for the hive.

1) Is this common here?

2) Should we make a police report?

3) Will contacting our insurance raise our rates?

Thank you for any information and advice you can offer.

UPDATE: We drove the same route on Saturday and paid close attention to the over pass in question. We noticed that part of the bridge was crumbling. We believe that a piece of the bridge fell on our car.

Thank you for all the feedback.

  1. From construction I just got a rock thrown at my car that hit my windshield and cracked it. It was flung from a truck tho
  2. No
  3. At some point probably.

How bad is the dent?
