“Wayne is so upset about this incident with a drunk driver. As a father, he was just thankful it was not his daughter or anyone’s child dealing with this,” a source revealed to PEOPLE. “He kept thinking what if it was his daughter.”
TMZ confirmed that Wayne called 911 after the fight, and the other driver took off down Pacific Coast Highway. Sheriffs later found the guy and arrested him for battery, DUI, and hit-and-run. The fire department responded to the scene, and they found Wayne. Wayne was not injured, and he didn’t need to be taken to a hospital.
Sources close to Wayne told TMZ, “he’s banged up and sore the day after the incident, and will be taking it easy for the time being.”
