Ohio patrol: trucker accused of shooting other semitrailer

TIPP CITY, Ohio (AP) – The State Highway Patrol says a semitrailer driver is accused of firing into the cab of another trucker’s semitrailer with a 9mm handgun in a suspected road-rage shooting in western Ohio.

The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1Nbc3CI ) reports patrol Sgt. Frank Simmons Jr. of the Dayton patrol post says no one was injured by the shot apparently fired by a Kentucky driver into a semitrailer driven by a Michigan man.

Simmons said authorities don’t know what led to the shooting. He says state and federal charges are possible.

Simmons says the Michigan trucker called the patrol around 9 p.m. Tuesday and reported another semitrailer driver was harassing him.

The patrol says the shooting occurred near the Tipp City exit of I-75 in the area of the Montgomery County-Miami County line.
