Calgary driver charged after man crushed between car and tree in road rage incident

A 34-year-old Calgary man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a road rage incident that ended with one man dead.

According to police, the passenger in a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo called 911 Tuesday to report a road rage incident that was underway and had continued throughout several roads.

The driver of the second vehicle, a 2002 GMC Sierra, was reportedly swerving in and out of traffic, and had flashed a knife at the two occupants of the Aveo, according to the caller.

Investigators believe the road rage was prompted by a non-injury hit-and-run crash between the two vehicles. Despite a 911 operator advising the Aveo occupants to cease following the Sierra, the pursuit continued.

What followed was a tragic collision where the Aveo reversed into the man, pushing him into a tree and proving fatal.
