Road rage becomes deadly as drivers take out anger with guns on the road

From people pulling the middle finger to pulling the trigger of a gun, rage is quite apparent on the streets as police in this city report increasing road rage numbers, with some cases turning fatal. Between 2018 and the end of 2022, the number of reported road rage cases increased 60%. While the number of cases increased each year, they increased by more than 100 between 2021 and 2022. And so far this year, police said they have dealt with 342 cases of road rage, which means 2023 will see a record number of road rage cases over a six-year period. Road rage cases reported to Denver Police: Year Number of Cases 2018 217 2019 258 2020 269 2021 272 2022 347 2023 342 (so far) “The person is anxious. They are stressed out. They are frustrated. They have poor impulse control,” said Dr. Shawn Worthy, a clinical psychologist and professor of Human Services at MSU Denver. In an interview with 9NEWS, Worthy theorized increased traffic and reporting to police may impact the increase in numbers. He also believes stress related to the economy and political climate likely plays a role. Worthy said people who are prone to road rage are often unhappy at home and work. “You don’t know how their day is going. You don’t know how their week is going. And you don’t know if they’re on that tipping point of just being so angry they want to vent their frustration on you,” Worthy said. “There is this cognitive component to them that makes it feel personal. It makes it feel like you’re doing it to them, as opposed to just an accident,” Worthy said. This year, Denver police have responded to several cases in which people are accused of resorting to guns. A road rage suspect was arrested in June, accused of killing two brothers during an encounter on I-25. Some of these cases involving guns have been caught on road cams. The phenomenon is also reported by Colorado State Patrol throughout the state. In 2021, state police received 30,347 reports. In 2022, the Colorado State Patrol saw 31,760 reports, an increase of 4.5%.
