According to authorities, the truck's driver saw his common-law wife in the car with another man.

The car's driver began brake checking the truck, and that's when the truck's driver pulled up next to the other vehicle.

At one point, once both vehicles were on Hammerly and Hollister, the car's driver shot numerous times into the truck, hitting the passenger in the torso, official say.

He's expected to survive.
