PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Police say a driver in a Detroit suburb has been injured after three pumpkins thrown from an overpass hit his truck.

Michigan State Police say the 2007 Ford Ranger pickup trick was hit by the pumpkins early Friday on M-14 in Wayne County's Plymouth Township. Two of the pumpkins struck the front of the pickup and the third went through the windshield.

Police say the driver, a 50-year-old man from Pinckney, is hospitalized in stable condition.

WWJ-AM reports more pumpkins were thrown off the overpass 10 minutes after emergency personnel cleared the scene.

Police are investigating the incident as a felonious assault.
