Police: Road rage driver fired gunshot into truck with 2 kids inside

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Police allege that a man's case of road rage got so out of hand he opened fire on a pickup truck with two small children inside.

Timothy W. Corbin, 44, is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment and one count of possession of a handgun by a felon, according to his arrest report.

He was taken into custody at work Tuesday afternoon, after the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet traced a license plate to a vehicle his girlfriend owned, the report stated.

The incident is alleged to have occurred in the Southbound lanes of the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265) near the Stonestreet Road exit T about 9 p.m. on September 9.

Corbin rolled down the driver side window, placed a handgun outside the window and fired a shot into the victim's vehicle, the post-arrest complaint reads. The driver's children were riding in the bench seat. No one was injured, according to the report.
