The California Highway Patrol asked for help tracking down the person who threw a rock at a passing car and killed the woman behind the wheel.
Officers said the woman was driving with a passenger just after midnight on Oct. 8 along State Route 138, east of SR-18. When police arrived, the passenger told them someone had thrown a rock through the windshield which struck the woman.
She was dead when paramedics arrived. Officers did not find a suspect in the surrounding area.
Investigators said this is the second time in two nights someone has allegedly thrown a rock through a driver's windshield in the area.
