Potentially Deadly Road Rage Incident Diffused In Pleasanton

PLEASANTON, CA — What could have been a violent road rage incident was apparently diffused by Pleasanton police officers who found one of the parties involved was in possession of firearms and magazines. "We get it, traffic in the greater Bay Area is frustrating," the department said. "Unfortunately many drivers end up acting on their frustration and the result is a road rage situation."

Thankfully nobody was hurt in this situation, but it could have ended differently, according to police. The Pleasanton Police Department advises that if you are confronted with a road rage situation, "stay calm, don't antagonize the other party and do not pull over to engage the other party." Instead, call 911 or drive to a local police department if you feel unsafe.
