Pa. trooper's windshield smashed by orange drink

[July 14, 2011]  JACKSON CENTER, Pa. (AP) -- Authorities say someone dropped a large plastic cup full of orange drink from an interstate overpass in Pennsylvania and it smashed the windshield of a police cruiser.

State police say the trooper wasn't injured. They found a fresh McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich near where the cup hit the car.

Police are trying to find who dropped the cup onto Interstate 79 just after 11 p.m. Monday in Worth Township, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh in rural western Pennsylvania.

The trooper has reported seeing two people standing next to car parked on the overpass just before the windshield was smashed. The trooper gave chase but the vehicle sped away.

Police said Wednesday that they're still looking for the suspect.
