Here's something that we hear about daily in certain parts of the world, but this one took place in Arkansas to a prominent doctor no less....
Federal agents are investigating the car explosion that critically injured a prominent Arkansas doctor and cost him one eye, a spokesman with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms told FOX News.

The explosion occurred Wednesday in the driveway of Dr. Trent P. Pierce, chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board.

West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert said "some type of explosive device" blew up in Pierce's car when he left his West Memphis home to go to work.

"We don't know if this was a random target or someone specifically targeted him," said Paudert. He said it wasn't known if the doctor was in his car or outside it when the device exploded.

Pierce's white Lexus hybrid sat in the driveway after the explosion, its hood open and bumper partially torn away.

The doctor was taken to Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn., where he was listed in critical condition, hospital spokeswoman Sandy Snell said.

Paudert said Pierce lost one eye in the explosion and remained in surgery late Wednesday afternoon, after suffering severe burns to his face and shrapnel wounds.

They're contemplating moving him to Ohio to a specialized burn unit," the police chief said.
