Nevada Interstate 15 Traffic Incident Ends with Shooting

There are many road hazards that drivers on long-stretches of interstate highways may experience: slick or dangerous road conditions, tire blowouts, car accidents and extreme weather. Another is other aggressive and possibly dangerous drivers.  Recent travelers driving to Las Vegas from California were victims of an aggressively violent traffic incident off of an Interstate 15 (I-15) exit.

As stated in a Las Vegas Review Journal article, one vehicle was seen tailgating another on I-15.  The driver who was being tailgated exited the highway, parked at a gas station and then they, and one of their passengers, got out of their vehicle.  The driver of the second vehicle followed them off the highway, got out of his vehicle, shot the passenger in the abdomen and then left the scene.

The driver who fled was located and apprehended at a Las Vegas hotel within hours of the violent traffic incident off I-15 in Primm, Nevada.
