A social media post from a frightened mother has sparked a wave of similar accounts from drivers who say their vehicles were struck by unknown projectiles along a short stretch of Highway 71 South in Fairview.

According to the initial post, at about 8:30 p.m. on December 26, 2025, the passenger window of her daughter’s vehicle suddenly shattered. Photos shared online show a small entry point surrounded by a web of broken glass. A police report has been filed, and an investigation is underway.

The incident occurred on a roughly half‑mile section of Hwy. 71 South between Key’s Grocery and Coulee Loop Road — the exact location where several other drivers say they’ve experienced similar damage in recent months.

One woman responding to the post said her family encountered the same issue two months earlier. “This happened to my mom, who lives across from Key’s. A BB went into her arm,” she wrote.

Another driver described a frightening encounter while returning home from Natchitoches. “It was like someone shot rocks from the left-hand side of the road toward our vehicle, and it hit our windshield and front end really hard,” the commenter said. “I thought it was giant chunks of glass or white rocks, the way they hit and sounded. I saw the pieces fly across right before they hit. It scared the crap out of us.”

A third driver reported that her windshield was struck in the same area around the same time period. “No cars were in sight when I was about to pass Key’s. Something hit my windshield — the sound was awful when it hit. It scared us so badly when it busted,” she wrote.

The Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office has been contacted for information regarding the reports. The Journal will provide updates as more details become available.
