Bartell was reportedly on the phone at the time with a friend, who was able to track her vehicle to a field. Bartell died from her injuries, officials said.

“This is a 20-year-old female who was driving home from work and she’s no longer with us because of this senseless act,” Jefferson County Sheriff’s spokesperson Jacki Kelley told KUSA-TV. “This is not fun and games, this is not a prank; this killed a woman last night and we want to know who did this.”

According to CBS News, this was one of a series of incidents involving rocks allegedly being thrown at drivers.
