A Calgary man faces manslaughter charges after a man died following a road rage incident in northeast Calgary Tuesday afternoon.
Around 12:30 p.m., police received a call from a passenger in a 2004 Chevrolet Aveo who said they were involved in a road rage incident around a number of roads in the city's northeast.
They said a 2002 GMC Sierra was driving erratically cutting in and out of their lane. They also alleged that the man flashed a knife at them from the driver's seat of his vehicle.
The 911 operator advised the occupants of the Chevrolet Aveo to disengage with the driver of the GMC Sierra, but they continued to follow him.
Eventually, the driver of the Sierra pulled over and exited his vehicle on the 6900 block of Temple Drive N.E.
Shortly thereafter, police believe the Aveo drove by and one of the occupants kicked the passenger door of the Sierra.
It's believed that the driver of the Aveo stopped his vehicle and backed into the driver of the GMC Sierra, who was hit and pushed into a tree.
