Perceived Slight Leads to Angry Confrontation in Church Parking Lot

Incident occurred on Hog Mountain Road near Mulberry Park in Dacula, Ga.

A Buford man claims he was intentionally struck by the driver of another vehicle after a June 1 incident on Hog Mountain Road.

The Buford man said he was traveling on Hog Mountain behind a truck. According to the Buford man, the driver of the truck stopped suddenly at the stop sign at the intersection of Hog Mountain Road and Pine Road as if he were trying to make the Buford man crash his vehicle into the rear of the truck.

"[The Buford man] explained that the driver ahead of him must have thought he was following him too close and tried to mess with him when they got to the stop sign," the officer wrote in the report.

At that point, the Buford man's fiancee reportedly noticed the other driver say something. The Buford man admitted he didn't see anything, but "felt offended that the other driver said something."
