Arraignment Day For Men Involved In Weston Road Rage On Mass Pike

WESTON, MA- A Framingham man and an Ashland man were arraigned after a road rage incident on Friday left one of the men on the hood of the other's moving car.

After the crash, Kamrowski stopped in the left lane and got out of his car to exchange paperwork with Fitzgerald, who was still sitting in his car, according to police

State police said the situation escalated and Kamrowski grabbed a water bottle from inside Fitzgerald's car and stood in front of it. As Fitzgerald drove forward, Kamrowski jumped onto the hood, according to police.
