65 Year Old Beaten In Road Rage Incident

(HUNTSVILLE, ON)- On Thursday March 31, 2016 at about 4:30pm a newer white Ford pickup truck was north on Highway #11 near North Waseosa Lake Rd. The pick-up truck, driven by a 65 year-old male from Huntsville, ON was attempting to pass a smaller vehicle that was apparently traveling slower than the speed limit. The vehicle would not let the pick-up track pass by cutting in front of him. The driver of the pick-up truck eventually pulled over to the side of the road.

The male was approached by the two occupants of the small vehicle along the side of the highway and was assaulted. The only description that could be provided is the two occupants were male and in their early 20’s, about 5’10” in height and one wearing a dark coat and yellow and black ball cap. They were possibly traveling in a smaller older model Subaru or Honda, silver or gold in colour. The 65 year-old victim suffered substantial facial injuries and had attended a local hospital shortly after the assault.

Anyone who may have seen anything in the area of the North Waseosa Lake Rd. northbound exit that may assist Huntsville Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in locating the suspects is asked to contact Huntsville OPP or Crime Stoppers.
