Passenger shot and killed as driver tries to escape road-rage incident, WA cops say

Police are investigating a shooting that left one dead after a road-rage incident in Skykomish, according to Washington State Patrol.

Around 8 p.m. on Oct. 15, near milepost 63 on Route 2, a silver Kia Sorrento and Subaru SUV got into “a road rage” incident, according to a news release.
