On April 6, 2026, at 7:43 A.M., Troopers out of SP Buffalo- Troop T responded to an incident on the I-90 west bound in the town of Batavia.

Both vehicles pulled onto the shoulder of the I-90. The 33-year-old operator of the Peterbilt left his vehicle and approached the Ford and Wendt abruptly opened this driver door almost pushing the 32-year-old into the lane of traffic. Both males began fighting in the roadway. During this physical altercation, Wendt pulled out a pocketknife and threatened the victim.
