A father on his way home from work died when he was struck by a rock allegedly thrown from a Michigan overpass by a group of teens.

Kenneth Andrew White, 32, was in the passenger seat of a van when the large rock went through the windshield and hit him, WXYZ reported. He was knocked unconscious and later pronounced dead at the Hurley Medical Center in Flint.

He was reportedly 10 minutes from home on his two-hour commute when he was hit. 

His fiancée Aimee Cagle said that she had to tell their 5-year-old son that his daddy was not coming home.

“He was a good man and a good father,” Cagle told Click on Detroit . “For some senseless act, for it to be just a rock, just to take him so soon.”
