A chilling scene unfolded on Highway 401 early Monday morning, leaving investigators searching for a dangerous suspect. A road-rage incident escalated into a shooting, narrowly avoiding tragedy for two occupants of a red Hyundai.
The incident occurred in the westbound lanes between Guelph Line and Highway 6 South, sometime around 1:30 a.m. A dark sedan became the focal point of a terrifying confrontation, culminating in gunfire directed at the victim’s vehicle.
Images released reveal the harrowing aftermath: a red Hyundai Kona riddled with bullet holes on the driver’s side. Remarkably, both the driver and passenger escaped the ordeal unharmed, a testament to luck and perhaps quick reflexes.
Police are currently seeking information about the dark sedan and its occupants, urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward. The highway was temporarily closed to facilitate a thorough investigation, reopening to traffic around 7 a.m.
Investigators are particularly keen to speak with witnesses who may have observed the altercation or drivers who were in the area and possess dashcam footage. Any detail, no matter how small, could prove crucial in identifying the perpetrator and bringing them to justice.
Those with information are encouraged to contact the Cambridge OPP detachment or Crime Stoppers, assisting authorities in resolving this dangerous case and ensuring the safety of those who travel the 401.
