On Oct. 17, according to a Facebook report, a 49-year-old man became irritated that the car in front of him was not going fast enough on Woodmen Road near Meridian Road. The car was being driven by a ìnewî driver, with her dad, Randy Cottey, riding along. The irate driver, David Connor, then followed the slower car, eventually cutting off the Cottey car. When both cars were stopped, Connor jumped out of his car. Cottey jumped out of his car to try and calm Connor down, but Connor started beating him; as his daughter watched in horror. When Connor saw that Cotteyís daughter was taking a picture of his license plate, he attacked her. Luckily, she memorized the license plate.Connor is now facing charges of second-and-third-degree assault and harassment. Cottey’s injuries (broken bones and cuts) required surgery and will keep him out of work for at least four months. A Go Fund Me account has been set up for Cottey and his family: https://www.gofundme.com/road-rage-victim-in-an-instant
