An Orland Park woman was cut by shattered plastic after someone shot at her
car on Interstate 80 in northwest Indiana, authorities say.
The 22-year-old woman was headed west, and had just passed Grant Street in Gary, when a dark truck pulled up behind her Thursday night, Indiana State Police said. He followed her for a mile, then pulled up on the right and tried to force her off the road, police said.
The truck then got on the other side, driving on the shoulder, and the Orland Park woman moved into the center lane, police said. The truck drove around to the right side again and the driver fired a small-caliber handgun at the car.
The driver of the truck exited at Cline Avenue and is still at-large. He was
described only as an older man with white hair.
The woman refused medical treatment at the scene.
Police are asking anyone with information to call (219) 696-6242.
