Fatal Stabbing on the Roadside in Chicago

Here’s a bizarre little story, which happened Friday morning, January 15, 2010 in Chicago. One truck driver, David Seddon of Racine, WI, claimed another truck driver, Allen Lauritzen of Sparta, WI, was tailgating him. Witnesses observed the two trucks cutting each other off, as they drove north on the Edens Expressway (I-94) in Chicago. After angry exchanges on the CB, both drivers then pulled off at the Tower Rd. exit, and proceeded to fight. Seddon stabbed Lauritzen with a 2.5 inch buck knife 3 times, including once in the chest, killing Lauritzen. Seddon then drove away. Police arrested Seddon Monday as he was making a delivery.

A shame. You’re not going to walk away a winner in a road rage incident. Best thing to do is keep driving, and ignore the other guy.
