A Bloomfield woman was heading toward her daughter's house when she got stuck behind a pickup truck while trying to make a turn during the rush hour on Wednesday.

According to a story on the Farmington Daily Times Web site, she honked her horn trying to get the truck to move, but the woman driving the pickup yelled at her and a male passenger got out of the truck, tried to enter the woman's car and struck her windshield first with his fist, then with a small ax.

"It terrified me, literally terrified me. All I could see was the ax coming at me," Billie Rogers told the Daily Times. "Glass just shattered everywhere."

Bloomfield Police Chief Drew Standley told the paper such things just don't happen in his town.

"It was pretty outrageous behavior," said Standley, who added that it was the first road rage incident he had heard of in Bloomfield.

The truck -- described as a green or dark-colored older model Ford with plastic over the rear window and no license plate -- drove off after the incident, the Daily Times reported.

Police are on the lookout for the truck and are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have information to call the Bloomfield Police Department at (505) 632-6311 or Crime Stoppers at 334-TIPS (8477).
