When officers arrived, they found a woman with injuries. Officers transported her to CRMC, where she was listed in stable condition.
A preliminary investigation found the woman had been driving her vehicle northbound on Marty Avenue when she became involved in a road rage incident with a man in another vehicle traveling in the same direction.
Police said the two vehicles cut each other off and then, at one point, the woman pulled over near Valentine and Marty and got out of her vehicle.
She walked toward the rear passenger side of her vehicle, and that’s when police said the other driver sped up from behind, struck the right passenger side of the woman’s vehicle, and also hit her. She fell to the ground.
The man drove away from the scene.
The case is being investigated as assault with a deadly weapon.
The investigation is ongoing.
