On July 22, 2026, at approximately 4:00 p.m., troopers responded to a report of a firearm-related road rage incident that occurred on Route 1. The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the suspect were involved in a road rage dispute while traveling southbound on Route 1 near the exit for Route 301. Investigators learned as the victim exited Route 1, the suspect pointed a handgun at the victim.
