A mother and daughter who narrowly missed being injured after a concrete block was dropped from a bridge on the A12 on to their car have spoken of their shock.

Mum of two Lisa Horne had been returning from a day’s Christmas shopping at Lakeside with her mum Stella Horne on Thursday, December 1, 2011 when a large rock smashed through the windscreen of her Vauxhall Astra.

Stella, 48, said: “I remember seeing a shadow come down from the sky and then there was the biggest explosion. At the time I thought it was something off of an aeroplane. It wasn’t until we got out the car that we both realised it had come from the bridge.”
