Sikh truck driver stabbed more than a dozen times in Wyoming rest stop attack

- A Sikh truck driver survived a violent stabbing attack early Sunday at the Bitter Creek rest stop on Interstate 80 in Wyoming, suffering severe neck and chest injuries plus over a dozen additional cuts.
- Police arrested Andrew Kris Bzdak in nearby Carbon County within hours and he remains jailed on a $1 million bond in Rock Springs on suspicion of attempted murder, a crime punishable by up to life in prison.

- Harsimran Singh, CEO of Gillson Trucking in Stockton, California, expressed apprehension about driver safety, stating, "I never felt this kind of hate before," amid rising anti-Sikh sentiment on truck-driving forums.
