Crazy Cruiser: Driver rams one car, fires bullets into another in road rage attacks
A man has been charged over a pair of brazen road attacks, accused of using a four-wheel drive to ram a hatchback on a highway in Brisbane’s south and firing a weapon at the smaller car.
Police say the man deliberately drove the Toyota Landcruiser into the back of a Ford Focus as the vehicles travelled along the Logan Motorway at 6.30pm on April 25.
The 4WD driver allegedly fired a weapon towards the occupants of the hatchback, hitting a woman in the back in the leg.
Police say the same Landcruiser was deliberately rammed into the back of a Ford Focus parked on Grand Plaza Dr in Browns Plains about midday on May 1.
Officers will allege the second collision was a case of mistaken identity, and the driver thought it was the same car from April 25.
