SMYRNA, Del. \u2014 Delaware State Police are investigating an alleged road rage incident that led to a shooting on Route 1 southbound near Smyrna on March 14, 2025. Authorities say the incident unfolded around 8:43 p.m. near Exit 119, involving a black Infiniti sedan and a black pickup truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police report that the two vehicles were driving south when the pickup allegedly struck the rear of the Infiniti. The suspect vehicle then reportedly pulled alongside the sedan, and an unknown individual inside fired a gun, hitting the Infiniti. The driver, a 27-year-old Delaware man, and his two passengers escaped injury. After the alleged shooting, the pickup continued south on Route 1 and left the scene, according to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators have not released further details about the suspect or the pickup truck involved in the incident. The investigation remains active as troopers work to piece together what sparked the confrontation and identify those responsible. Authorities say the event highlights the dangers of escalating road disputes, though no injuries were reported in this case. Police are urging anyone with information about the alleged incident to come forward as they continue their efforts to track down the suspect vehicle and determine the full circumstances surrounding the reported gunfire on the busy highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
