A pickup truck driver and passenger are wanted for questioning in Washington state after shooting fireworks at another driver in what authorities described as an "apparent road rage incident."
The incident happened around 9 p.m. on Feb. 1 in Kitsap County, when a four-door Dodge pickup truck began following a female driver on Central Valley Road, the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office said.
Minutes later, the pickup passed the woman and began shooting fireworks out the passenger-side window toward the woman’s vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.
Cameras on the woman’s vehicle captured Roman candle-style fireworks launching from the pickup, according to video of the incident.
