NightSide With Dan Rea

A road rage incident in Plymouth turned deadly when a young man shot and killed another driver after getting into a minor traffic incident. The 23-year-old suspect had a young child on board at the time of the motor vehicle crash that escalated into a physical fight in which the victim was then shot 3-4 times. Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz joined us to discuss this case and the dangers of road rage.
