Alleged road rage incident leads to two people charged
Windsor police say they have arrested two people related to a road rage incident in east Windsor.
Police responded to Pillette Road and Wyandotte Street on Sunday around 10 p.m., following a report of a road rage incident.
Upon arrival, officers say they learned that a 33-year-old man was driving his Chrysler 300 northbound on Pillette with an adult female passenger and a 3-year-old child.
While stopped at Pillette Road and Ontario Street, police say a Toyota driven by a female known to the victim struck the Chrysler. The female driver then exited her Toyota and attempted to enter the Chrysler.
