We know that most road rage and aggressive driving incidents in general go by unnoticed and are never reported to authorities, but the one that happened on February 6, 2014, at a gas station in Las Vegas, was of the criminal kind and has police searching for the perpetrator.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, or LMVPD for short, shared footage of the incident caught on a nearby security camera. It shows an elderly man hit and run over by a grey-colored, eighth-gen Honda Accord (built from mid-2007 to 2012). The man suffered injuries to his legs and was transferred to the UMC Trauma Center.
After conducting an investigation, LVMPD detectives stated the following in their report:
“The investigation revealed just prior to the incident the victim drove into the station lot when a gray Honda Accord pulled in front of him, causing the victim to drive around the Accord to avoid an accident. As the victim was walking from the gas pumps towards the store, the suspect vehicle drove around the parking lot and approached the victim at a high rate of speed. The vehicle stopped just short of the victim and then continued forward, striking him with the driver’s side bumper. The victim fell to the ground and was run over by the suspect vehicle causing the victim to suffer significant injuries. The suspect vehicle was last seen driving out of the parking lot westbound on Flamingo Road.”
The reason why they shared the video is that they need help to identify the driver of the Accord.
“The suspect vehicle is described as a 2010 or 2011 dark gray Honda Accord with tint on the rear windows only,” read the police statement on the incident. “The vehicle has a California license plate that begins with “6C”. The driver could only be described as a white male in his 30’s with a medium build and he was last seen wearing a gray hoodie.”
