Well, in all the time I've been here I've never heard anything so down right idiotic as this.

Some 'youths' decided it would be funny to throw an 8kg lump of concrete from an overpass on to the Auckland motorway below.

This lump of concrete ended up going straight through a 20yr old mans windscreen, killing him outright, also causing his vehicle to crash (travelling at around 100km/h) in to a pole, injuring his 3 passengers.

I've both seen and experienced this kind of outright dangerous stupidity in the UK. It's a sad thing to see it here too.

So there you have it.. bad stuff does happen in NZ, but thankfully it is still a great deal more rare than anywhere I know of.
