Jones and her daughter were on their way home from the dentist when a massive rock came through their windshield. The impact of the boulder and shattered glass broke her arm and sent her to the hospital for surgery.

Jones is now wearing an arm sling.

Witnesses told police they saw two teens throwing rocks off of a bridge onto oncoming traffic, hitting three vehicles on Interstate 35 and Grand Avenue Friday evening.

"The vehicles are going at such speed that the rocks hitting the windshield can, and in this case, did a significant injury to one of the passengers in the vehicle," Oklahoma City Police Master Sergeant Gary knight.

Police arrested a 14-year-old boy and 16-year-old in connection with the incidents. The teens will now face three counts of throwing objects at a moving vehicle, which is a felony.
