Rage + Race + Shooting = 710
That shooting last Friday that killed a motorist on the 710 -- the second on the freeway in three days -- seems to combine all the things you hate about driving in L.A. Sounds like it started as a road-rage incident, continued as a drag race, and ended as a freeway shooting:
A scary chase between a motorist in a small rental car, and an SUV with tinted windows trying to run it off the road, may have led up to yesterday’s murder on the Long Beach (710) Freeway, police said today. Los Angeles resident Jaime Raul Saldana, 37, was found dead behind the wheel of a small car that had crashed into the median of the 710 freeway, said coroner’s Lt. Joe Bale. Police believe his rental car may have been pursued by a driver in a black SUV with tinted windows. The SUV was seen swerving into the victim’s vehicle shortly before the wreck. Both cars apparently went north on the 710 Freeway to its end at Valley Boulevard in Alhambra, where they made two left turns to speed back south on the same freeway, police said. (CNS)
