Authorities searching for road rage suspect in Flagler County
An alleged road rage incident in Palm Coast, Florida ended with a van being riddled with bullets.
PALM COAST, Fla. - The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is offering a reward for information on a road rage suspect who allegedly shot at a car in traffic.
According to the Sheriff's Office, the road rage shooting that happened on February 4 at 7 p.m. along the westbound lanes of Palm Coast Parkway at the intersection of Harbor Center Way.
The report states that the victim vehicle was in a large white cargo-style van stopped at the intersection. Deputies say the suspect was stopped behind the victim’s van in a dark-colored passenger vehicle. That's when they say the suspect got out of his vehicle and opened fire on the van. The van’s rear door was struck three times by 9-mm projectiles. Both vehicles then fled the scene northbound onto Old Kings Road.
The victim, who was not injured, pulled over and waited for law enforcement’s arrival. The suspect vehicle turned right onto Farragut Drive, where witnesses lost sight of the vehicle.
“This incident could have ended very differently,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Being upset with another driver does not give anyone the right to shoot at another vehicle or potentially take someone’s life. If you see someone driving recklessly, call 911 instead.”
