A truck driver was hospitalized after being attacked by a man with a golf club yesterday evening.
It happened on Highway 11 near Tulsa, Oklahoma on Monday, June 12th at approximately 5 p.m.
According to News On 6, a semi truck and a Chevy Tahoe were heading east on Highway 11 when they encountered some heavy traffic. The driver of the Tahoe claims the tractor trailer cut him off as traffic came to a stop.
Once stopped, the driver of the Tahoe got out of the vehicle wielding a golf club. He approached the driver side window of the semi truck and smashed the glass with the club. The head of the club flew off the handle and shot through the passenger window of the truck.
Glass flew into the cab and into the eyes of the truck driver. He was taken to a nearby hospital with glass lodged in at least one of his eyes.
The Tahoe driver, 53-year-old James Cooper, was arrested by the Tulsa Police Department for assault with a deadly weapon.
An update on the trucker’s condition was not available on Tuesday.
