An “aggressive” road rage case in west Edmonton last week resulted in an altercation between the passenger of a truck and the driver of a sedan, say police, who are now looking for tips.

Both vehicles were heading towards the Whitemud Drive exit ramp onto Anthony Henday Drive last Monday about 4:30 p.m. when the driver of a red Acura EL merged in front of a black Dodge Ram truck.

The driver of the truck reportedly began honking and tailgating the sedan until its driver pulled over to the shoulder of the off-ramp to let the truck pass, police said Wednesday.

An object was thrown at the sedan from the truck and then, as the two vehicles travelled south on Anthony Henday Drive, the driver of the truck refused to allow the sedan to pass and eventually forced it into a ditch.

A man aged between 30 and 50 years old with a heavier build and grey hair styled in a man-bun jumped out of the truck and began running after the sedan on foot.

The driver of the sedan took off but was followed to the intersection near 215 Street between the River Cree Casino and Costco where the man got out of the truck before approaching the car where police say an “altercation” occurred.

There were three male occupants in the sedan.

The truck, described as a new model Ram, then took off northbound on 215 Street past Whitemud Drive. The licence plate was obscured by snow, police said.
