Man charged following Gungahlin road rage incident

A 39-year-old Turner man has been charged following a road rage incident on Sunday, 17 September 2023. 

About 5.40pm on Sunday, the driver of a white Toyota Hilux allegedly began tailgating and intimidating another vehicle along Majura Parkway. The driver of the Hilux then allegedly proceeded to cut the other vehicle off, and brake check them, before stopping abruptly in a left turn lane blocking any other vehicle from passing. The driver of the other vehicle chose to drive over the kerb to avoid further confrontation. 

A passenger in the vehicle that was being targeted filmed the incident and this was provided to police. 

Last night, general duties officers in Gungahlin attended an address in Turner and arrested the man. He was charged with furious driving and drive while licence suspended. 

He is scheduled to appear in court on 4 October 2023. 

Anyone who witnessed this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or on the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number 7540479.
