Among the victims is an officer from The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department who driving his marked squad car.
It happened as the victims, including the police officer, drove northbound in the 2000 block of Madison Avenue just south of downtown Indy.
The victims believe two young teens are responsible for the damage.
Scott Server showed Eyewitness News the damage on his 2004 Tahoe from a brick dropped on the SUV.
Server pointed out where the brick landed. “The damage is here on the hood, right there and there," he said. "Of course it bounced off the hood and hit the windshield.”
The overpass mischief happened around 6:00 a.m. Sunday as Server drove on Madison Avenue after leaving his parents home.
What surprised Server even more is who got hit right after him.
IMPD sent Eyewitness News photographs of Metro Officer Lynnford Parker’s fully-marked police car.
The same vandals struck the officer's squad car, and he made a u-turn hoping to find the two kids he spotted on the overpass.
“I saw him later, up above looking around, and then I met up with him later, and he told me he had gotten hit on the windshield also,” said Server.
This is not the first time youngsters have used the overpass to target drivers. In May, Metro Police arrested two teens caught on camera dropping rocks from the same overpass which left several drivers with car damage. Someone recognized those teenagers after the video was shown on Eyewitness News and called the Crime Stoppers hot line with an anonymous tip.
The repair costs to vehicles involved in the vandalism can be expensive.
Server believes, although his SUV is a 2004 model, the repairs to the hood of his Tahoe cost close to $1000. The damaged windshield will need replaced because eventually the cracks will spread across the entire window.
Server has done some calculations on how much it will cost. “I am talking probably a couple thousands of dollars worth of damage," he said.
Fortunately, no one got hurt by the vandals. But the victims hope the young suspects realize the danger they cause to drivers on the road.
“It's just not property damage,” said Server, “They are risking someone's life.”
