Police are investigating a shooting incident that left a truck driver injured on Tuesday evening near the Nevada-California border.

The shooting occurred at 7:28 p.m. on February 25 at mile marker 4 on Highway 6, near Montgomery Pass, according to the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO).

The truck driver sustained a leg injury and was transported to a hospital in Bishop, California.
