Man kills motorist, self in apparent road rage
PLACERVILLE, Calif. — Authorities say a man who fatally shot another motorist in California before turning the gun on himself appears to have targeted a stranger in a road rage incident.
The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office says 36-year-old Jenson Kohutek had some conflict with 49-year-old Jack Larson while driving in the Somerset area of Placerville, which is 40 miles east of Sacramento. After their two vehicles eventually crashed, Kohutek allegedly shot Larson, then killed himself.
Sheriff’s officials say there appears to be no prior link between the two men.
Authorities say Larson later died at a hospital. A 72-year-old woman who was a passenger in Larson’s SUV was not injured.
