GEORGETOWN, DE — Delaware State Police are investigating a road rage incident that occurred Tuesday morning in Georgetown, during which a driver allegedly brandished a handgun.

The incident took place around 11:44 a.m. near the intersection of Springfield Road and Gravel Hill Road. According to investigators, the driver of a Chevrolet Silverado, a 37-year-old man, was traveling westbound on Johnson Road when another Chevrolet Silverado entered the intersection from eastbound Springfield Road, nearly colliding with the victim’s vehicle.

Following the close call, the suspect’s Silverado followed the victim southbound on Gravel Hill Road. Police say the suspect accelerated, moving into the oncoming lane to drive parallel to the victim’s truck. At that point, the suspect pointed a handgun at the victim through the driver’s side window.

The victim sped ahead of the suspect, who fled the scene heading eastbound on Zoar Road. Responding troopers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect or the vehicle.

The suspect is described as a bald white male who is possibly armed. His vehicle is described as a white Chevrolet Silverado with a Leer cap covering the truck bed.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the suspect’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact Delaware State Police as the investigation continues.
