© WCCUIllinois State Police said several drivers are reporting their car windows shattered by unknown objects.
Officials continue investigating the multiple incidents that started about four days ago.
State police said they still don't know who is behind the events or what the objects were that shattered the windows.
Just like hundreds of other drivers, Urbana resident Humberto Sanchez uses I-74 to travel home from work every day.
But he said yesterday, a loud boom shook his car. An object shattered the back window of his van on the driver's side-the side where usually his three-year-old daughter sits.
"My wife she almost cried because she was thinking about my daughter," Sanchez said.
Sanchez said at first, he thought it was a rock or a fluke accident.
"I was thinking it was a little accident, a flat tire or something like that but when I stopped the car, it wasn't a flat tire. Somebody broke my window," Sanchez said.
He saw several other drivers posting similar experiences on social media like Mahomet resident Lisa Harshbarger who had her van's window shattered too.
"The first thing I thought was that I've been shot at," Harshbarger said.
She said she heard a loud boom and could feel the wind start whipping through the back of her van. That's when she pulled over and saw her whole window was missing.
"You don't want to think that someone is shooting at you on the Interstate driving 70 miles an hour," Harshbarger said.
She noticed it didn't just happen to her after seeing a mom post a photo of her son covered in blood after their car window shattered too.
"I saw a friend of mine post about the four-year-old child so I just posted a picture of my car and said this happened to me tonight as well," Harshbarger said.
She said she hasn't touched anything in her car yet because state police are investigating it hoping to find what caused the damage.
State Police said they are taking these criminal acts seriously and if anyone has information about the incidents or witnessed them to call the state police immediately.
Well, no one’s dead yet. But that will occur soon enough. The cops should be out after this person or group as if it/they were (a) serial killer(s), because that’s what it is/they are trying to do - to the extent the dumbsh*t(s) ‘know(s)’ what it/they are doing. (I’d have no reservation on a death sentence in such a murder case which becomes more and more likely as the cops focus on ‘drug war’ and ‘Fusion Center’ privacy invasion BS. So maybe they’ll wake up if one of their moms dies, . . . maybe. After all, they’re confident that such police crimes against supposed criminals in victimless crimes - are more important for the general welfare than protecting people from an almost certainly too soon to be serial murderer.
