Officers from Nottawasaga OPP are investigating a road-rage incident from late Wednesday night in New Tecumseth. The driver and vehicle remain unidentified.

The incident occurred between the hours of 11 p.m. Wednesday and 12:14 a.m. Thursday morning, which is when the OPP received the report.

After the incident, the victim reported the incident, which started westbound on County Road 1. They observed a white Ford F-150 ahead swerving and braking erratically.

Upon reaching Adjala-Tecumseth Townline at County Road 1, the victim passed the suspsected vehicle and stopped to confront the driver. A description of the driver or licence plate number was not obtained.

Continuing on County Road 1, the F-150 reappeared behind them, and both met again at the intersection of County Road 50 and Highway 89.

As they approached, the victim entered the left turning lane, and the suspect entered the right turning lane. The vehicles were then stopped next to each other.

Then, the victim heard a loud band. They believed it was a rock striking the vehicle, but a bullet hole was later discovered when they returned home.

Officers eventually recovered bullet fragments from the door.

The suspect vehicle was last seen heading eastbound on Highway 89 toward Alliston.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact Nottawasaga OPP or Crime Stoppers.
