CONCORD (BCN)
A Concord woman may lose her right eye as the result of someone apparently throwing or dropping a rock through her car s windshield as she was headed to work last week.
The woman, Pam Burnett, on a GoFundMe page to raise money for her medical bills, described in detail the incident itself and the subsequent surgeries she has endured following the accident that took place about 10:45 p.m. on Dec. 23.
CHP says they don t have any suspects in that case either.
Pam s husband started this GoFundMe page because it could be months before she goes back to work as a labor and delivery nurse at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.

Steven Burnett I ve never been so sad in my life about anything, just terrible. I m trying to stay strong and help her get through this and we re gonna get through, said Steven Burnett, Pam s husband.
