Czech driver hit by stone on Swiss road dies

A Czech female motorist was killed on a road in Switzerland on Friday when she was hit by a stone that flew off a truck going in the other direction, the Swiss police force said.

The stone smashed the windscreen or her car and hit the woman, who was 60, in the head before exiting the vehicle through the rear windscreen.

Another person in the passenger seat managed to get the car under control and neither she nor a child on the rear seat was harmed.
