NEW YORK — One of at least seven victims of rock-throwing incidents in Colorado, the last of which took the life of a 20-year-old woman, is sharing his story.
Nathan Tipton, a Lyft and Uber driver, had just finished driving a customer when, around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, he was driving southbound on Highway 93 and heard what"sounded like a shotgun blast," he told reporters on Tuesday.He pulled over, but then"thought it was just wind damage, so I continued on home," Tipton said.
Tipton then took a closer look at the driver's side sliding glass door of his Chrysler minivan and said he saw"both those windows got shattered out -- from what I imagine was a rock hitting my window."Tipton said no one was on the side of the road at the time his car was struck and he believes the object was thrown from a car driving in the other direction.
"Nobody should lose their child for a random act. ... It's heartbreaking," said Tipton, a dad of three. In the hour before Bartell was killed, six other cars in the area had rocks thrown at them, according to the sheriff's office. In two of those incidents the drivers suffered minor injuries.
