(NEW TECUMSETH, ON) Officers of the Nottawasaga Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are investigating a serious road rage incident that occurred on August 13, 2025 between the hours of 11:00 p.m., and 12:14 a.m., in the Town of New Tecumseth and are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect vehicle and driver.
At approximately 12:14 a.m. on August 14, 2025, police received a report from a motorist who had been involved in a road rage incident. The victim was travelling westbound on County Road 1 when they observed a white Ford F-150 pickup truck ahead of them swerving and braking erratically.
Upon reaching the intersection of County Road 1 and Adjala-Tecumseth Townline, the victim passed the suspect vehicle, stopped, and briefly confronted the driver. The victim did not obtain a description of the driver or a licence plate number.
The victim continued westbound on County Road 1, but the suspect vehicle quickly reappeared behind them. Both vehicles turned northbound onto County Road 50. As they approached the intersection of County Road 50 and Highway 89, the victim entered the left turning lane while the suspect vehicle entered the right turning lane, positioning itself side-by-side with the victim’s vehicle.
At that moment, the victim heard a loud bang, initially believed to be a rock striking the vehicle. Upon returning home, the victim discovered a bullet hole in the front passenger door. Officers attended the scene and recovered bullet fragments from the door.
The suspect vehicle, described as a white Ford F-150, was last seen heading eastbound on Highway 89 toward Alliston.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who may have dash cam footage from the area between 11:00 p.m. on August 13 and 12:30 a.m. on August 14 to contact the Nottawasaga OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
