A 76-year-old woman was injured when a large mystery metal object struck her while travelling on the Bruce Highway. The incident occurred on Wednesday at approximately 9:30 AM, July 10, 2024.
Robyn Droste, the victim, was in the front passenger seat of a car driven by her daughter Tanya when the accident happened. According to their account, a white van drove over what they initially thought was a clay pipe in the middle of the road, causing it to become airborne.
The object, described as a solid piece of metal weighing about 4 kg, hit the car’s bonnet before striking Droste. She suffered a head injury, resulting in bleeding and an egg-sized bump.
Droste was taken to the hospital for treatment of the head wound and concussion.
As of Thursday, Droste is recovering at home. The origin and exact nature of the metal object remain unknown.
