At approximately 4:20 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 7, 2019, the driver of a red Acura EL that was heading eastbound on Whitemud Drive reportedly merged in front of a black Dodge Ram truck travelling in the same direction. Both vehicles were heading towards the exit ramp from Whitemud Drive eastbound to Anthony Henday Drive southbound. After passing the truck, the male driver of the Acura reported that the driver of the truck began to honk at and tailgate his sedan. The sedan then reportedly pulled over to the shoulder of the off-ramp to let the truck pass. After passing, the truck allegedly came to a stop in front of the Acura and an object was thrown at the sedan from the truck.
While continuing southbound on Anthony Henday Drive, it was reported to police that the truck would not let the Acura pass and forced it off of the road into the ditch west of the freeway. A male passenger then reportedly exited the truck and began running after the sedan on foot.
After returning to the roadway on the 62 Avenue exit off-ramp, the Acura was allegedly followed by the truck westbound along 62 Avenue and northbound on 215 Street near the Granville neighbourhood. Both vehicles reportedly came to a stop at a red light on 215 Street at the intersection between the River Cree Casino and Costco. The male passenger of the truck then allegedly exited the vehicle again, approached the Acura and an altercation occurred. The truck was last seen heading northbound on 215 Street past Whitemud Drive.
Investigators are concerned about the aggressive nature of this incident and are hopeful that anyone who witnessed it will come forward to police.
The truck is described as a newer model (2010-2016) black Dodge Ram. The truck reportedly had an Alberta license plate, but the number was obscured by snow.
The driver of the truck is described as a white female approximately 35-years-old.
The passenger of the truck is described as a white male, 30-50 years-old with a heavier build and grey hair that was tied into a bun.
