VANCOUVER – Police in Vancouver are investigating whether a Tesla was intentionally targeted when a rock smashed through its windshield, seriously injuring a passenger.

A statement from the Vancouver Police Department says the woman was struck in East Vancouver on Sunday night.

The statement says the pregnant woman had been travelling northbound on Nanaimo Street in a grey 2022 Telsa around 8:45 p.m. when the two-pound rock came through the windshield and hit her before ending up on the floorboard of the vehicle.

Police say they don’t yet know where the rock came from or what caused it to strike the vehicle.

Spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison says investigators are looking into whether what happened was criminal, adding that the incident could have killed the woman “but for a few inches.”

Police say she sustained a serious, but non-life-threatening injury, and is recovering.
