Road rage leads to hammer-wielding man's death

Friday, 17 May 2013 02:38 Published in Local News

   St. Louis police say a bizarre case of road rage left a 43 year old man dead.  

   It began around noon yesterday, when a box truck apparently cut off a Lincoln Navigator on westbound Inerstate 70.  

   Police say the SUV followed the truck to the Union Blvd. exit, ramming the box truck several times.  At the light at Margaretta and Union, the driver of the SUV got out of his vehicle and began hitting the truck with a hammer, striking the driver before jumping onto the truck's hood.  When the truck turned onto Margaretta, the attacking man fell off and was injured.  

   The man was taken to a hospital, where he later died.  Police have not yet released his identity.

   One person in Missouri is $1 million richer after matching the five white balls in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing.

   The numbers drawn were 2-11-26-34-41, with a Powerball of 32.  

   No one won the $360 million dollar Powerball jackpot.  With no winner, Powerball officials project that the next drawing will be worth an estimated $475 million.

   An employee of St. Louis Cold Drawn arrived just after 4:00 a.m. Wednesday and found 55 year old Mach Nguyen lying on the ground next to an electrical box.  Burnt strands of hair were found on one of the coils.

   Nguyen was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.  

   St. Louis Cold Drawn makes cold-finished steel bars.
