5 Arrested In Bowling Ball Drop That Hurt Trucker
(AP) Fairmont, Minn. Fairmont police have arrested five people for an incident in which someone dropped a bowling ball off a bridge onto a freeway, seriously injuring a truck driver.
Fairmont Police Chief Greg Brolsma says his officers, acting on a tip from a school resource officer, conducted interviews most of the day Wednesday and arrested four juvenile males, and one 18-year-old man.
The bowling ball was dropped Aug. 27 from a bridge above Interstate 90. It crashed through the windshield of a semi, seriously injuring Ted Maki of Missoula, Montana. His truck crossed the median and westbound lanes before going through a fence and coming to rest in a cornfield. Maki has since recovered.
The Martin County attorney's office is reviewing the case for possible charges.
