Emergency crews took him to Rideout Hospital, where doctors removed glass fragments, including one lodged under his eyelid. Plant is now recovering vision in both eyes, though he still experiences light sensitivity. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the incident and reviewing highway cameras to find whoever threw the object.
