A Minnesota man is recovering after being shot while driving down from Duluth on Interstate 35 on Thursday.

He told WCCO he's lucky it wasn't worse.

"It could've been very — I'm trying to find the words — very bad," Chris Durovec said.

Durovec said Thursday morning, he, his wife, daughter and daughter's boyfriend heard a big boom from the driver's door.

It prompted Durovec's daughter to call for help.

"My leg started to hurt, and we pulled over and noticed blood coming through it. So my wife jumped out and put a tourniquet on it," Durovec said.

They were heading from their hometown of Duluth to Taylors Falls when the shooting happened.
