The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident, which happened around 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in Yuba County.

Alex Plant said he was driving home from work around 9:30 p.m. on Browns Valley Road (Highway 20), a few miles northeast of Marysville, when someone in a car traveling the opposite direction threw something at him.

“It came through the window and hit me in the face. … I barely saw it for a quarter of a second before it just came straight through,” he said.

Plant was able to pull off the two-lane highway, and — confused and with his eyes quickly swelling — he asked Siri to call 911.
