Man Dragged By Driver In Road Rage Incident
A 61-year-old man was dragged for about 100 feet after he confronted a man about his driving. Now officers with the Caledonia Police Department are searching for the driver.
Police are searching for a driver that allegedly dragged a 61-year-old man about 100 feet during a road rage incident at 8:27 p.m. Sunday at Four Mile Road and North Main Street.
The victim told police the driver was in a bronze/copper colored older model Buick or Oldsmobile when he came up to Three Mile Road and he was tailgating the victim so close he couldn’t see the headlights, according to a report by the Caledonia Police Department.
Coming up to a stop sign at Four Mile Road and North Main, the driver honked his horn at the victim, who got out of his car and asked the driver what the problem was. Jerking the wheel to the left, the driver pressed the accelerator to the floor and tried to go around the victim, but he grabbed the windshield and was dragged for about 100 feet.
The victim had a scrape to his calf and he refused rescue.
The driver of the vehicle is described as a white male about 25-years-old. He was last seen on Four Mile Road.

The 61 year old was the aggressor came out of the vehcile. The other driver did not know if he was armed with a weapon and was fleeing to get out of a dangerous cituation. The 61 year old should be charged with, blocking traffic, creating a dangerous cituation, disturbing the peace and if their was such a law, being to old to drive. If you have such a short fuze that you want to get out of your vehicle to start a fight with a person in another vehicle behind you, you should not be driving. It is a privledge not a right to drive a vehicle.

He escalated the situation by getting out of his car. I also wonder what nice words he had for the other driver?
