(WJBK) - Authorities announced Monday charges against several teens accused of dropping a rock from an I-75 overpass and killing a man.


The following individuals have been charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit second-degree murder: Kyle Anger, Alexander Miller, Mark Sekelsky, Mikadyn Payne and Trevor Gray. Anger is 17, but the rest of the ages are not entirely clear at this time. They are all being charged as adults in Genesee County.


On Oct. 18, 32-year-old Kenneth White of Mount Morris was killed while riding in a truck on his way home from a construction job when a rock smashed through the car's windshield and killed him.

The incident happened in Vienna Township, which is about 80 miles north of Detroit.
Last week, the Genesee County Sheriff's Office said the incident appears to have been a prank.

stupid teens, that's what eggs are for

About 35-40 years ago we did stupid shit at night with the freeway... Which was only a partial freeway (1 lane) at the time. We thought wet mud bombs on the road were funny. Cars hit them and they splattered... Never entertained something that could hurt anyone. Simple fun I thought. If my kid dropped rocks I would not defend him, even though as a father I should. My kids know better and if they fuck that up I am not behind them anymore.

I have never, in my entire life, ever given one moment of thought to the possibility that I would consider doing such a thing. What am I missing here?? Did I have a vanilla childhood?

Kids do stupid shit without thinking. Damn shame.

I couldn't even comprehend thinking about doing something like this. Wonder if these idiots were on some sort of ritalin substance during their youth...

Even as a kid I understood that throwing rocks at people could seriously hurt them, but I've had kids throw rocks at me before. It's really not fun, if one of them hits you in the face it could seriously hurt you, or in this case, kill you.

Police say the teens threw a rock over an overpass near Dodge Road, striking and killing 32-year-old Kenneth White as he rode passenger in a vehicle heading down the highway.

Police say Kyle Anger is accused of throwing the rock that hit the van. All defendants are being tried as adults.

Genesee County District Court Judge William Crawford cited the seriousness of the crime and refused to grant bond. Not-guilty pleas were entered.
