Vancouver police are investigating after a pregnant woman was injured when a rock smashed through a Tesla windshield while driving.

The woman was a passenger in a grey 2022 Tesla that was travelling northbound on Nanaimo Street in the evening of March 30. As the vehicle passed East 27th Avenue, a two-pound rock smashed through the windshield and hit the woman before landing on the vehicle's floorboard. She was injured, but is now recovering. 

The Vancouver Police Department says investigators are working to determine whether it was a criminal act, and if someone intentionally targeted the Tesla. Investigators examined the vehicle and searched the neighbourhood for more evident, but officers "don't yet know where the rock cam from or what caused it to strike the vehicle," according to a release Thursday (April 3).

"This very serious incident could have easily resulted in someone's death, but for a few inches," Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison said.
