Driver Strikes Man With Car During Road Rage Incident

A man is accused of striking another person with his car during a road rage incident in Delaware.

The ordeal began Saturday around 1:45 a.m. on Route 13 near Wilmington. Police say the suspect, a male driver in a dark colored Dodge Dart, began following a 36-year-old man driving a silver Mercedes C30 south on I-95 to the Route 896 exit.

After traveling north on Route 896 to Route 4, the 36-year-old man pulled over and confronted the suspect, police said. The 36-year-old’s 42-year-old brother-in-law also got out of the car. That’s when the suspect accelerated and struck the 36-year-old with the front of his vehicle, police said.

The 36-year-old was thrown to the grass median as the suspect fled the area. Police say the suspect’s vehicle also struck another car as it drove away from the scene.

The 36-year-old was taken to Christiana Hospital and treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was hurt during the incident. The third vehicle that was struck sustained minor damage.

Police have not released a detailed description of the suspect but say his Dodge Dart had a Maryland license plate. They also say there was a passenger inside his car at the time of the incident.

If you have any information on the incident, please call Detective James Skinner at 302-366-7100 or email him at James.Skinner@cj.state.de.us.
