A man is in custody, accused of pulling a gun on another driver following a road rage crash Tuesday afternoon on the President George Bush Turnpike in Collin County, state troopers say.
A Texas DPS spokesman said troopers were called shortly after 3 p.m. to a report of a man with a gun on the eastbound lanes of the turnpike near Preston Road. The driver of a 2018 Hyundai Elantra, driven by Christiano Pinheiro De Abreu,"was road raging" when he struck a 2008 Hyundai Sonata, the spokesman said.Ryan Haddox said he saw the tense situation and took a picture.
"There was traffic so we started slowing down, and then we saw that to the side," Haddox wrote in a message to NBC 5."We got over a lane and got out of there right as a police officer was pulling up to the scene."A United States Postal Inspection Service officer saw what was happening and detained both drivers until state troopers arrived, the DPS spokesman said.
