Slighty Fixed Article

Road Rage Gone Wild



At about 3 in the afternoon on August 27th, a 17th year old girl whose name can not be showed was on her way to a Delaware high school. She was going the speed limit, and was a new driver. A motorist behind was tailgaiting her, and got angry because she was not going fast enough. After a couple of miles, she pulled over to let him by. But the driver was not satisfied. He then pulled over in front of her car and got out. She put the window down about 5 inches so that she could speak to him and try to understand what the problem was. Although, she didn’t see he had a knife with him. He told her that she tried to kill him, which was not the case. He then demanded the car keys, and when the girl refused, he decided to get violent. He pulled out his knife, showed it to her, and then held the knife to her throat. Right before he went back to his car, he reached for the key in the ignition and ripped it out. Witnesses tried to chase him, the did not succeed. By then another truck pulled up behind the girl. People called the police. Unfortunately, the police have not found the victim yet.

Nina,
When you said "the police have not found the victim yet" did you mean the victim or the criminal?
