CAMPBELL Road rage leaves truck damaged



The driver said the other truck struck his vehicle twice.
CAMPBELL -- A 25-year-old Youngstown man has reported that his 1989 Chevrolet truck was smashed by a stranger during road rage that began on McCartney Road, Campbell police reports show.
The man said he was driving on McCartney around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday when another man, about 47, driving a blue Chevy pickup truck, tailgated him, then passed and cut him off. He said the truck contained a female passenger.
The Youngstown man said he pulled into the lot of Sky Bank and the other driver turned onto Coitsville Road, entered the bank parking lot and drove his truck into the rear driver side of the Youngstown man's truck.
The Youngstown man said he followed the blue truck to the corner of Lansdowne Avenue and Oak Street on Youngstown's East Side, where the other driver stopped in a parking lot and began putting gas into the truck from a gas can.
What was reported: The Youngstown man got out of his truck to see the license plate of the blue truck when the other driver put the truck in reverse and rammed into the front driver-side quarter panel of the Youngstown man's truck.
The Youngstown man said he learned from Youngstown police that the blue truck was reported stolen from a 48-year-old Lowellville man, so he looked up the phone number of the person listed as the vehicle's owner, Campbell police reports show.
He told police he called the number and a man who answered said, "If I had a gun, I would have killed you."
