Kingston police are looking for the suspect in a hit and run seemingly fuelled by road rage.

According to police, on Tuesday night just before 8 p.m., a woman driving down Bath Road near Portsmouth Avenue was confronted by a man in a black truck going westbound down Bath Road.

The truck driver allegedly pulled up next to the woman’s car and shouted at her while they were both driving.

Police say the truck then got behind the woman’s vehicle and rammed into her car, before fleeing the scene in a “dangerous manner.”
