TEMPLE, Texas -- A Central Texas woman died after someone dropped a rock from a railroad overpass through the windshield of the car in which she was riding.

Temple police asked for the public's help in identifying a suspect in the Saturday night incident on Interstate 35 that fatally injured Keila Ruby Flores. The 33-year-old Waco woman died Sunday morning at a Temple hospital.

Police said Flores was in the front passenger seat of the car driven by boyfriend Christopher Rodriguez.

Right now, it doesn't sound like they have a clue as to who did this.

That's horrible!

I drive that road all the time.  I hope they catch them.

There have been a few of these incidences (2 or 3) in the past 3 years around the nation....where the person got killed. That leaves me to believe, there are probably a number of incidences that happen as well; but no one gets killed.  Someone might even get badly injured or it causes an accident on the freeway, but if no one is killed, we may well not hear about it.

Dropped from a railroad overpass?

Who walks on them?  I sure seems unusual that someone was not noticed on it.

Prayers up for the family, that has got to be a shock.

Stupid kid trick or something more malicious?-- either way, a tragic result.
