A rock from a slingshot flew through the taxi driver's open window and hit him in the face while he was at a red light.
LAS VEGAS - A taxi driver continues to recover after a rock from a slingshot flew through his open window and hit him in the face while he was driving passengers on the Las Vegas Strip.
Police say Teginge was hit in the face by a rock from a slingshot. The taxi driver was taking customers to Treasure Island around 11:45 p.m. and stopped at a light on Las Vegas Boulevard to turn into the resort. “My dad’s a really independent man, but this past month, trying to help someone who’s so independent after they’ve been dealing with something like this is very difficult,” she said.
