Road Rage Incident Kills Utah Porsche Club Members

To make it worse, the victims weren’t even involved in the road rage incident.

A 48-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman were killed while on a Sunday drive in their 1987 Porsche 911 on SR 73 near Eagle Mountain, Utah when a truck involved in a road rage incident crossed the center line, slamming into their vehicle head-on. This just shows that even if you don’t participate in road rage, it absolutely can affect you or the people you love.

According to a report from KSL, the whole incident started near the Eagle Mountain City Center by the rodeo grounds on June 4. As the driver of a Nissan Maxima and Ford F-150 raged at each other, the pickup truck started tailgating the sedan while the two vehicles drove down a city road to the highway. By the time they reached SR 73, the incident had escalated into violence.

At some point the driver of the F-150 steered onto the highway shoulder and ran into the side of the Nissan. In images captured by KSL, you can see rub marks all down the passenger side of the Maxima. In reaction to that scary escalation, the driver of the sedan slammed on the brakes.

However, the Ford driver lost control since he was no longer pushing on the other vehicle, veering into oncoming traffic, instantly slamming into the Porsche. Both the driver and passenger in the Porsche died on the scene.
