The number of people shot in a road rage incident in the U.S. has spiked more than 400% since 2014, a recent analysis of data shows.
Road rage shootings have increased dramatically over the last decade across the United States, a recent analysis of data shows. Between 2014 and 2023, the number of people shot in a road rage incident spiked more than 400%, according to the data analysis by The Trace, a nonprofit that aims to shine a light on America's "gun violence crisis.
Dean DeSoto, executive director of the nonprofit Community Alliance for Traffic Safety in Texas, told The Trace that aggressive drivers have poor impulse control. When they turn violent, they’ll reach for whatever’s around them to use as a weapon — "whether that’s a baseball bat, a tumbler, or a gun." DeSoto noted how road rage can be a reflection of broader social unrest, too.
