OPP look for a man with ‘hockey hair’ after road rage incidents

June 9, 2023

Lambton OPP are looking for help after three apparent road rage incidents in Grand Bend.

Saturday morning June 3,eafter 1 am, police got a call about an erratic driver on Main Street yelling racial comments at pedestrians. Police believe the same person was involved in an argument which led to the driver striking another car before racing away.

There was another incident on Mollard Line, where police believe the same vehicle – an early 2000’s silver or light-grey coloured Ford escape – hit another vehicle a number of times before fleeing.

Police are looking for a white man, possibly in his early 20s, about 5’11” and thin with a goatee and wearing a black baseball hat backwards with ‘hockey hair’ curling under the hat. The SUV is likely to have front end damage.

Anyone who might have seen the incidents or has video or photos is asked to contact Lambton OPP.
