State police were called, but the driver is still out there.

“I don’t want to see anybody else wind up like this, this is uncalled for. There’s no need for any of this, there’s no reason to haul off and hit somebody," Rochelle McIntosh, the victim, said.

McIntosh said the other driver was going very fast, then cut off her car on the intersection of North Center Avenue and Arona Road.

“The guy comes winging out around us and pulls off into this gravel pull off and stands in front of my fiancé’s car and almost gets hit," she said.

TRENDING NOW:

Rather than stop, McIntosh said she decided to keep driving, but he followed. At the next intersection, he threw a water bottle at her door, denting the side.

“And I get out and I intended to mince words with him, and instead of mincing words, the dude just straight hits me," she said.

The car is described as a silver Hyundai Santa Fe with Michigan license plates.
