Driver Allegedly Shot Family's SUV in Apparent Road Rage Incident
He apparently got mad that windshield washer fluid from the SUV got on his car.
— -- Detectives are on a manhunt for an unidentified suspect accused of shooting at a family's SUV in Santa Clarita, California, after he apparently got angry that windshield washer fluid from the SUV "got his new car wet," according to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
The apparent road rage episode, which happened Aug. 8, was caught on camera by another driver, the sheriff's station wrote on Facebook.
The incident started after the driver of the family's SUV said she "activated her windshield washer nozzles to wash her windshield," the sheriff's station said.
A man driving a gray Honda Civic then "pulled alongside her vehicle and motioned for her to roll her window down" before yelling at her "that she got his new car wet," according to the sheriff's station.
The driver "apologized and then rolled her window back up," but the suspect "brandished a handgun" and "fired at least two rounds" at the SUV, the sheriff's station noted.
Luckily, no one in the car was physically injured, but the tires of the family's SUV were blown out.
Dash-cam video from another driver showed that the SUV was forced to stop in the middle of the road.
The suspect then fled the scene, the sheriff's station said. Police describe the suspect "to be a white male, 20-30 years old, with a goatee."
Authorities are asking that anyone with information please call Detective Welch with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station at 661-255-1121 ext. 5131 or submit a tip through www.LACrimeStoppers.org, referring to the file number: 016-10577-0631-051.
