(COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo) -- With summer on the way, the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) warns that road rage will be on the rise during the warmer months. Colorado Springs has already seen incidents of road rage resulting in crashes. Back on Friday, the Colorado Springs Police Department says the y found one person dead after responding to a crash on I-25 near Garden of the Gods Road around 6:30 p.m. Courtesy: FOX21 Photojournalist Chris Hernandez The interstate was closed for several hours before police determined the crash was caused by road rage. Right now, police say 44-year-old Durriel Humphrey is facing felony-level charges. Another recent road rage event happened back in December, as the El Paso County Sheriff's Office says Loyd Dewees, a Colorado Department of Corrections employee, was arrested after allegedly shooting through a car door near the Gate 5 entrance of Fort Carson and Highway 115. State Trooper Sherri Mendez says road rage can be expressed in different forms. "Road rage can be speeding, it can be tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, honking your horn aggressively or even giving gestures," Mendez said. Some know from experience. Jessica Cortes, who lives in Colorado Springs, told FOX21 News she was driving along Powers Boulevard when a truck blocked her attempt to get into the left turn lane. After, she says the man proceeded to follow her. "Then he pulled up right next to me, and he started screaming at me and saying to get out of the car so he could fight me," Cortes said. At that moment, she felt upset and scared knowing her six-month-old child was in the back seat. "But also I just felt like I had to be smart because obviously he was crazy, so I couldn't be mad at him," Cortes said. According to CSP, they received 54,956 calls related to road rage back in 2023. Also, a January survey from Forbes found Colorado ranked fifth in terms of states with the most confrontational drivers, only behind California, Missouri, Utah and Oklahoma. CSP recommends not retaliating in the case someone begins to rage on the road, but they do recommend getting information on the driver and the car and then calling the CSP to file a report. Mendez also says a dash camera can help provide evidence to police in order to determine charges. Cortes also recommends taking a deep breath when dealing with angry drivers. "Just stay calm and probably not even respond to it, I think would be the best thing to do," Cortes said. "There's no point responding to it." ...read more read less
