When the attack happened, Budd and her husband were traveling with their daughter Kaylee across Pennsylvania on Interstate 80 for a concert in New York. The recuperation of Sharon Budd is going well, according to her daughter. When Sharon Budd was rushed to the emergency room, the doctors did not think she would live.

She underwent five surgeries over the course of three months at Geisinger Medical Center and HealthSouth, including a 13-hour procedure to repair her face and another to remove a portion of her frontal lobe from her brain.

Sharon Budd Husband Death

On Saturday, Randy Budd, Sharon Budd’s husband, passed suddenly. The Stark County Coroner’s office reports that his apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head caused his death. Sharon Budd suffered a catastrophic injury in the event in July 2014, and Randy Budd had remained by his wife’s side ever since.

With 33 years of marriage, Randy and Sharon have four kids. A month before his passing, she and her husband were at Bonefish Grille dining together to mark their anniversary.Randy Budd passed away on August 6, 2016, after shooting himself in the head.

Budd had argued for the Ohio Department of Transportation to put protective fencing on bridge overpasses after the rock-throwing incident on Interstate 80 seriously injured his wife. Randy Budd led a campaign in Ohio and Pennsylvania to put protective fencing on bridges that cross busy highways while remaining by her side the entire time.

The 108 new and refurbished bridges that cross state highways will have fencing or other obstacles installed, the Ohio Department of Transportation has decided.

Sharon Budd Daughter

The siblings of Kaylee Budd, who was driving the automobile during the rock-throwing incident on Interstate 80, are James Budd, Lucas Budd, and Joey Budd. Sharon and Randy Budd have four grown children. Daughter Kaylee, 20, who was operating their vehicle that evening, has been emotionally damaged by it.

She even sought therapy to help her process the fallout. Six weeks later, Sharon’s mother Shirley Betz, age 77, experienced a stroke as a result of it.

The Interstate 80 Rock Throwing Incident

On July 10, 2014, a passenger in a car on the highway was badly hurt and forever scarred by four adolescents who were hurling rocks from a flyover above Interstate 80 (I-80) in Union County, Pennsylvania.

On July 10, 2014, Sharon Budd, a 53-year-old schoolteacher from Uniontown, Ohio was a passenger in a vehicle being driven east on I-80 in Pennsylvania by her daughter when a rock shattered the windscreen of the vehicle and struck Budd square in the face. Budd had severe wounds, including the loss of vision in one eye.

When the stone struck the car, it sounded like “an explosion,” according to Budd’s husband Randy, who was riding in the back seat and the couple’s daughter Kaylee was driving. The driver of a tractor-trailer truck, Matthew Baker of Plainville, Massachusetts, informed authorities that a rock that was thrown from the overpass impacted his vehicle right before it hit the vehicle that Budd was riding in.
