Police in East Texas are asking the public for help in identifying a pickup passenger who threw an object at a trucker and left him with glass lodged in his eye. 

The incident occurred on Friday, April 4th at around 1:30 p.m. on US Highway 96, ¾ of a mile south of Loop 500, just south of Center, Texas. 

According to 9 ABC, a white pickup truck and a semi truck were passing each other when a passenger in the rear row of the pickup truck threw an object at the trucker. The object shattered the semi truck windshield, which left the trucker with cuts to his face and glass lodged in his eye.
