Case remains under investigation
Clark County: A road rage incident along Interstate 65 in Clark County Friday afternoon turned violent just south of Henryville.
The initial investigation by Sellersburg Post Troopers indicates that just after 2:00 PM, a white Chrysler Town and Country minivan and a maroon Ford Bronco sideswiped each other while traveling northbound on Interstate 65 near the 16 mile marker (Memphis exit). While continuing to travel north, both vehicles were believed to be slowing down and accelerating while making gestures and motions at each other.
Both vehicles came to a stop on the northbound ramp at Exit 19 (Henryville). The driver and passenger of the Chrysler, and the driver of the Ford, ultimately exited their vehicles. During the disturbance, the driver of the Ford fired shots from a handgun at the driver of the Chrysler. The driver of the Chrysler left the scene and traveled to the Circle K gas station in Henryville. The driver of the Ford was on State Police 911 during the entire confrontation and remained at the scene when Troopers arrived.
The driver of the Ford was detained and will be interviewed at the Sellersburg Post by investigators. The driver of the Chrysler was transported by emergency medical services to University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville for treatment of gun shot wounds.
This remains an active investigation by troopers and investigators. Additional information will be released as it comes available.
