With his 2-year-old daughter in a car seat inside, Gabriel Poventud of Woodbridge threw open the door of his silver Jaguar on the shoulder of southbound Interstate 95 in Prince William County and fired 13 shots at a dump truck, terrifying Tuesday evening commuters, Virginia State Police said.
Police said Wednesday that Poventud, 25, and the operator of the white Ford truck, James Bringham, 44, also of Woodbridge, drove recklessly and in a rage down a four-mile stretch of highway. The incident happened after the truck merged onto the interstate from Route 123 just south of the Fairfax County line shortly after 4 p.m. and "encountered" the Jaguar, police said.
The truck struck the Jaguar twice before both vehicles wound up on the left shoulder pinned against a Jersey wall, where Poventud began shooting, state police allege. The truck driver headed back into traffic, trailed by the Jaguar, police said, until one of several state troopers at the scene brought the chase to a halt on the right shoulder of I-95 near a weigh station.
