Travis Abbott, his wife Cora, their three children and Cora’s mother were traveling south Sunday on U.S. 41 to see their new home in Zebulon when a driver in a Honda Civic nearly ran them off the road, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Cora Abbott said her husband caught up to the driver and said, “Man, what are you doing? I got my kids in the car.”
The driver followed the family for miles, demanding they pull over, the news station reported.
They eventually pulled into the parking lot of an auto parts store, where the men allegedly fought.
Cora Abbott said the other driver pulled out a steel reinforcing bar from his car and hit her husband in the head.
The investigation is active, Jones said.
