Delaware State Police are investigating a road rage incident that occurred Saturday night in the Smyrna area.
Officials said on June 15, 2024, at approximately 10:21 p.m., a 30-year-old woman from Chester, Pennsylvania, was traveling northbound on State Route 1 (Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway) in the right lane with her 2-year-old child in the rear passenger seat.
A white SUV began drifting into her lane. In an attempt to avoid a collision, the victim honked her horn and continued driving. The unknown driver of the SUV responded aggressively by tailgating her, paralleling her vehicle, flashing high beams, and shouting obscenities from the window, according to police.
As the vehicles continued northbound, the suspect briefly pulled onto the right shoulder, allowing the victim to pass. The suspect then re-entered the right lane and fired shots at her vehicle before fleeing the scene near Exit 119 in Smyrna. No injuries have been reported, but several bullets hit the vehicle.
The suspect vehicle is described as a white SUV, possibly a GMC Yukon.
