Dashcam catches man throwing debris onto Seattle highway

Vehicle dashcam video caught an I-90 rock-thrower in the act as four more cars were hit by debris on I-90 Sunday evening.

“I was like, ‘Great, I’m one of those, great, I’m one of those people on the news,’” said Jamie Bengston as he stood on a sidewalk near his home in downtown Seattle.

In an attempt to protect his new purchase, Bengston bought a high definition front and rearview dashcam system. He didn’t think he would need to use it so soon.

He was driving westbound on I-90 near the I-5 exit Sunday afternoon when he heard a loud noise and felt something hit his car.

His first reaction was to focus on the road and try not to crash.

Then, he checked the camera footage. From the front, you can see a man run out of the bushes to the edge of the cement barrier off the shoulder of the freeway, then you see him wind up and throw the rock right at Jamie’s car.

Four vehicles hit by rocks, bricks Sunday along Seattle freeways


SEATTLE - The Washington State Patrol is looking for whoever threw rocks and bricks that hit at least four cars Sunday on Seattle freeways.

The cars were struck at two locations - Interstate 90 at 18th Avenue and Interstate 5 at 12th Avenue. The two locations are near each other.

One of the cars had a brick crash through the windshield - but at this point only minor injuries have been reported.

It was just the latest in a series of debris-throwing incidents that have damaged vehicles along Seattle freeways this year. Several arrests have been made so far but the incidents continue.
