Greater Sudbury Police are urging the group of teens who caused a serious crash by throwing rocks onto Maley Drive earlier this week to come forward.

Police said one of the rocks struck a motorcycle driver, causing the bike to slide into a ditch and sending the driver to hospital with serious injuries.

A dedicated tip line has been set up to receive information on the case as police assure the public that they are confident they will find those who were involved.

Calls about the incident began coming into 911 around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon when drivers reported seeing a group of young people on a rock cut throwing stones at the roadway.

“It appears as though there were in the neighborhood of four youths responsible who were on top of the rocks in the area throwing rocks down onto the highway," said Det. Staff Sgt. Barry Ornella.

"The description we received is that one of the youths was believed to have shoulder-length red hair (and) freckles, wearing a black hoodie and black pants. A second youth is described as wearing either a white or a gray hoodie.”
