A van driver suffered serious head injuries when a boulder smashed through his windscreen and hit him after it was dropped from a bridge, police confirmed. Nottinghamshire Police reported that the rock was dropped from the crossing over the A617, near Hemsley Road, Rainworth, at approximately 22:00 GMT on Friday. The 26-year-old individual was driving a silver Transit van when the boulder went through the windscreen. “We are taking this mindless and abhorrent act extremely seriously,” Supt Heather Maelor stated. The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, and the road remained closed through Saturday morning, reopening to traffic at about 13:30 GMT. The closure on the A617 was between the roundabout at Kirklington Road and the junction with the A6191. Supt Maelor urged any witnesses or drivers with dashcam footage to come forward.
