Zilches suffered a broken nose, a concussion and issues with her jaw and teeth, KARK reported.
"I'm hurting. Yeah, it's a little tire, but it messed me up," she told the television station.
According to the Arkansas State Police, minutes before Zilches was injured, a truck was damaged by a possible rock that was thrown over the overpass.
Pulaski County deputies said they do not know who is responsible, but they did see a truck and multiple people on the overpass, KARK reported. Because it was dark, it was difficult for deputies to see who was parked there, the television station reported.
