| Trucker Shot While Driving On Westside Trucker Shot While Driving On Westside 11/26/07 Quote:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A trucker who was shot before dawn Monday while driving on the Westside, then crashed his tractor-trailer into the tree in a yard is recovering at Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center.
According to police, neighbors heard a single gunshot, then the big rig crashing in the 2800 block of Sunnyside Street about 3 a.m.
"I looked out the window and 'cause I could see these bright lights," said Janie Richardson "The truck had run into the tree, so I called 911."
Rescue personnel found the man still behind the wheel.
Police said the man -- who was not immediately identified -- was shot in the neck, but is expected to recover.
Channel 4's Nikki Preede was told that police had no one in custody and were trying to identify a suspect.
