The couple was going home from their honeymoon.
State police investigators said the rock weighed approximately 70 pounds. Police have not released the woman's name, but said she is from Rochester, N.Y.
The woman is hospitalized in critical condition. Investigators said she has facial injuries and has lost one of her eyes.
Seven other vehicles traveling the highway at the same time were damaged by rocks and debris, which flattened some tires. There were no other injuries.

Cumberland County, N.C. — Authorities on Friday added more charges to the three teens accused of throwing rocks off an overpass on Interstate 95 in Cumberland County after two more drivers came forward.
Bobby Shane Stone, 17, Javier Prieto Jr., 18, and Alex Alvarado, 18, were arrested on Feb. 1 and charged with five felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and five counts of damage to personal property. The Cumberland County Sheriff's office tacked on two additional counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and damage to property.
The trio were being held in the Cumberland County Jail on a $250,000 bond, but the sheriff's office increased their bonds to $350,000 after Jerry Crawley, of Victoria, Virginia and Bill Patterson Trucking, of Clayton, N.C., reported having their trucks damaged by objects being thrown from the overpass.
ETA: Also, no, this was not an accident.
