'I could have lost my life.' Woman says large rock thrown at her windshield

A Wake County restaurant owner is speaking out to warn commuters after she says someone threw a rock that shattered her windshield on the way home.

The incident happened Friday night just before 10 p.m. along Mial Plantation Road in eastern Wake County.

The vehicle's driver, Tiana Cooke, said she believes someone is up to no good and wants others to be on the lookout.

"The damage speaks for itself," said Cooke. "Who would do this? I don't know what trend it is or a game."

Cooke recalls the moment of the incident and being in disbelief.

"All of a sudden, I hear a boom and all the glass shattered in my eyes, and I'm like, what in the world, I know this did not just happen to me," said Cooke.

Nearly $300 later, Cooke's windshield has since been replaced on her Ford Explorer, but the incident has worried her.

"Now going home at night, I'm like this (ducking) -- I'm scared it might happen again," said Cooke.

Cooke fortunately walked away unharmed but wants to know the intentions behind the person responsible for such reckless behavior.

"I'm still in disbelief that someone would do this and think it's funny and okay. I could have lost my life," said Cooke.
