KINGMAN, Arizona — A serious crash on southbound Highway 93 at milepost 69.5 in Coyote Pass left two people hurt on March 24, 2025, after a boulder smashed into their car, the Kingman Police Department reported. It happened around 9:00 a.m. when officers got to the scene and found a passenger vehicle with a busted windshield and a 150-pound rock sitting in the back seat.
Investigators say workers were clearing the construction zone up the hill when a big boulder got loose. It rolled down, hit another rock, and broke off the chunk that flew over the concrete k-rail. The rock punched through the windshield, landed between the driver and passenger, then bounced back, shattering the rear window. The driver, a 32-year-old man from China, got cuts on his face from glass. The passenger, a 28-year-old woman from China, took the worst of it—a deep cut and a fractured skull—and was rushed to Sunrise Medical Center in Las Vegas in serious shape.
No one’s been ticketed yet, and police are still digging into how it all went down. That stretch of Highway 93’s a steep, winding spot south of Kingman, under construction for months, and rocks falling aren’t new—but this one hitting a car’s got folks talking.
