A large rock hit the windshield of a vehicle on Interstate 205 on Tuesday near Tualatin, the 10th time since early September that rocks or other items have been reported being thrown at motorists, the Oregon State Police said.

The thrown items have included apples, rocks, branches, logs and pumpkins, the state police said in a news release. And they've been thrown at passing motorists from a walkway near the southbound Interstate 5 Exit 289, which curves, goes underneath I-5 then becomes I-205 northbound.

The exit ramp is adjacent to a footpath that travels behind the Martinazzi Village apartments in Tualatin. Multiple paths connect to it and provide access to I-205 and I-5, police said.

None of the victims has been injured, and the incidents have not caused crashes. Witnesses have told police they saw one or more people fleeing the area into nearby trees or up a hillside.



The state police ask for people with information about the incidents to call 503-375-3555 or 800-452-7888.
