A female motorist had her car struck with a brick thrown from a bridge on the M1 towards Belfast this evening.

She said: “Please be careful on M1 motorway tonight, 2 persons on 1 of the bridges between junction 12 and junction 11 heading towards Belfast, they just threw a brick off the bridge and it has left a huge dent in my car bonnet, so thankful it wasn’t my windscreen! Scared the life clean out of me when I heard the bang! Scumbags!!!”
