The victim says he was actually shot at in the same area a few months ago. He described what he went through during Wednesday night's incident.
"I was driving eastbound 91 Freeway, and I seen a flash and right after the flash, I heard the window crack throughout the windshield. That's how I noticed I got shot at, so I pulled over to the shoulder and called 911," said Michael Hernandez.
