Man charged after concrete blocks dropped from overpass onto Toronto highway

TORONTO — A man accused of hurling concrete blocks from overpasses onto a major Toronto highway is facing multiple charges in connection with the alleged incidents.

Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt says in one of the incidents a piece of cinder block went through the roof of a vehicle on Highway 401 and landed in the passenger seat.

Schmidt says the cinder block could have easily killed someone.

He says there were no injuries in the incidents — one on Sunday and two on Wednesday — but another vehicle also was damaged.
