Wheat Ridge police

Two road rage incidents in Colorado, including a physical altercation on I-70 and a gunfire attack on a truck near US 36, have drawn attention to rising aggressive driving. AAA's Skyler McKinley attributes the trend to Colorado's car-dependent culture, hot summer weather, and high gas prices, which contribute to driver stress.

Two drivers involved in a road rage altercation on I-70 in Wheat Ridge were issued disorderly conduct summons after a video showed them stopping in the highway, exchanging physical confrontations, and damaging property. Police emphasized the danger of the situation and warned drivers to avoid similar behavior.
