Road rage driver wanted after opening fire on another vehicle on Pennsylvania highway: police

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. - Authorities in Montgomery County are searching for a road rage driver who they say fired multiple shots at another vehicle on a highway exit ramp Thursday morning. 

Troopers from the Pennsylvania State Police's Philadelphia station were called to the exit ramp from Matsonford Road to I-476 around 9:45 a.m. for reports of a shooting.

Police say the victim reported being involved in a road rage incident with the driver of a white Chevy Impala who fired three times at the victim's passenger's side door.

No one was injured in the shooting that police say unfolded as the victim was exiting the highway. The wanted vehicle was last seen heading west on I-76, police say. 

A witness reported seeing a newer model white Impala with dark tinted windows and Pennsylvania tags being driven by a male between the ages of 35-40.

FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson caught the reactions of many nearby residents who had heard of the violent incident.

"You can't react when there's bad drivers all over the place," said Justin Green. He tries to avoid road rage and he drives a lot for a food delivery service.  People just need to relax and understand we're all out here trying to get to the same place."  

State police did not give specifics about what led up to the shots being fired or if there was a prior interaction between the shooter and the victim, who was lucky he was not hurt. 

Drivers like Tommy Strouse say he is in the habit of tuning out things like horn honking from other drivers. 

"I hear the horns beeping and to be honest with you, I don't even use my horn or know what it sounds like. I restrain from that because you cannot trust people all the time," he said. 

Strouse lives in King of Prussia and just does not engage.

"I get it, but I don't understand what the rage is all about," said Strouse. 

Most drivers agree that reacting to other drivers on the road is dangerous. 

"You got to be careful these days. Everybody has guns," said Anthony Pierce.

Still, he says while he will not resort to violence, he cannot promise he will just keep it moving either. 

"I'd probably scream at the window like a whole nut," Pierce laughed.
