“Witnesses observed the black truck racing further down Bath Road with another pickup truck before watching them both turn onto Days Road,” police said. “Police attended the scene and searched extensively for the suspect with negative results in locating him.”
The woman was uninjured, but her vehicle was moderately damaged.
The man’s pickup is described as being a highly modified, older, two-door black GMC or Chevrolet. Police said it is possible the truck may have been diesel-powered as it emitted a cloud of thick, black smoke, and it may have had an exhaust stack behind the front cab.
