Appeal to trace drivers after 'distressing' early-morning road rage incident in Worksop

Anyone with information should call 101

A woman had abuse shouted at her in a road rage incident in Worksop before the motorist sped off. At around 7am on Friday, September 20, a driver had just turned into Owday Lane when she saw a dark grey BMW overtaking a black SUV behind her dangerously.

It was reported that the BMW driver then tailgated the victim’s vehicle and flashed his lights at her to go faster before he then overtook her at a fast speed whilst approaching a blind bend and swerving. The BMW driver shouted abuse at the victim at the next roundabout before cutting in front of her, causing her to brake.

The driver sped off and at the next junction the woman in the black SUV pulled up alongside the victim to ask if she was okay. Officers believe that this woman may have witnessed the road rage incident and are urging her to come forward.

Police Constable William White, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This must have been a distressing ordeal for the victim and other road users who witnessed the incident.

"We believe the driver of the black SUV may have vital information about what happened, and we’re really keen to speak with her, as we believe she may be able to assist with our investigation. If this is you, or you think you might know them, then please do get in touch."

He continued: "We’d also like to hear from anyone else who may have information about the incident, who hasn’t yet come forward.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 245 of 20 September. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
