Adam Linhardt, a spokesman for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, said Liska became angry after the driver of the SUV attempted to pass Liska's minivan around 9 p.m. near mile marker 20.

Linhardt said Liska grabbed a rock from inside his van and lobbed it at the SVU, breaking a window of the SUV, Linhardt said.

One person inside the SUV suffered minor cuts and scratches from the broken glass, Linhardt said.

Other drivers on the Overseas Highway corroborated the victims' account, Linhardt said.
