Husband of Ohio woman critically injured by dropped rock kills self

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The husband of a schoolteacher critically injured when a rock was dropped on her car from a highway overpass has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

Randy Budd was pronounced dead at his Uniontown home late Saturday, Harry Campbell, chief investigator for Ohio's Stark County coroner's office, told The Associated Press on Sunday. Budd was 55.

Sharon Budd suffered catastrophic head injuries when a 5-pound rock tossed from an overpass crashed through the windshield of her family's moving car on Interstate 80 in central Pennsylvania in July 2014.

  1. Wow--the Budds got a life sentence and those punks got just a few years. More liberal, dumbocrat judges. They should have been locked up, and key thrown away.

  2. I'm sure his wife appreciates him leaving her behind.

  3. This kind of thing happens all the time. Budd apparently got a law passed that will put 6 to 8 foot fences on overpasses such as this one in Ohio. That may be the best way to prevent this harm.

    We can never educate all humans, especially the young and dumb, to the danger of this behavior. There is always another one of us being born who has to be taught the wisdom of the old and sometimes that is not enough either.

    I might ask Brian Dayton how locking these boys up and throwing the key away is going to benefit society. It cost tens of thousands per year for this locking up satisfaction and it is highly unlikely these boys will be repeat offenders.

    It is just a disheartening series of events all around.
