A driver allegedly hit another car with a metal wrench in Langford in a case of highway road rage during Thursday\u2019s morning commute, according to police.<\/p>\n
West Shore RCMP officers were called to a reported disturbance near the Trans-Canada Highway and Millstream Road off-ramp when they learned an argument took place between someone driving a Honda Civic and another driving a Toyota RAV4 while stopped in traffic.<\/p>\n
Things escalated when the driver of the RAV4 allegedly exited his vehicle carrying a large metal wrench and struck the Civic before he got back into his vehicle and headed toward Saanich.<\/p>\n
RCMP advised Saanich Police that the suspect vehicle was headed in their direction.<\/p>\n
Saanich officers caught up with the driver near Mackenzie Avenue and Glanford Road, arresting the man for mischief under $5,000 and driving without due care and attention.<\/p>\n
The driver\u2019s vehicle was towed from the scene.<\/p>\n
No physical injuries were reported, but the arrest briefly caused traffic backups in the area of Mackenzie and Glanford while officers attended the scene.<\/p>\n
West Shore RCMP is still investigating the Langford road rage incident and has not released any additional information at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
