SHAWNEE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a road rage fight that sent one man to the hospital in critical condition.
Just after 7:15p.m. Friday, officers responded to the west side of the Sardou Bridge in Topeka on a report of an aggravated battery that had just occurred between the drivers of two vehicles, according to Lt. John Trimble.
A dark colored Chevy Traverse, or similar SUV, was tailgating the victim’s SUV and just after crossing the bridge they pulled over at about Morse and Central in North Topeka. The drivers got out of their vehicles to confront each other.
The driver of the tailgating SUV punched the driver of the other SUV and left. The victim was left unconscious and as of Monday, was still receiving medical care at the hospital for critical injuries.
Police asked that if anyone was in the area at that time and saw anything to contact them. On Monday afternoon, police reported they had located all of those involved in this incident. They have not reported an arrest or additional details including the names of those involved.
