Drive by Shooting

I was going down Highway 24 about 10 or 15 miles west of Hanksville, Utah,
enjoying the beautiful sunny day. Pretty much had the road to my self except
for a few locals. A black car approached me from behind at a high rate of speed.
Not a big deal because there was plenty of room to pass and I was already a
few miles over the limit so all seemed okay! When they got beside me, door to
door my drivers side window exploded. They SHOT my window out!
They passed on by and slowed to savor their moment! Then they took off!
I was shocked because it was loud and glass flew all over the cab.
When I realized what happened I gave chase.
All I can say that the COWARDS ran away at over 100 MPH.
The upside was everyone that I talked to after it happened was helpful and
were surprised as me that something like this happened.

The road rolls on and I am grateful......

Insane road rage from some punk ass cowards! Hard to believe anyone would pull such a dangerous stunt, you're lucky you weren't hit or blinded by flying glass.
