As per a Spanish report, an altercation among individuals driving along Avenida Tecnol³gico in Mexico on December 3, 2022, turned violent. The confrontation resulted in one individual deliberately running over another with his car twice. Subsequently, the perpetrator was apprehended by the police.
Further we found multiple social media posts and news articles covering the same incident. According to these sources, the road rage incident unfolded in front of a McDonald's outlet at Avenida Tecnol³gico in Toluca.

An additional report on the incident included images of the vehicles damaged and the individuals engaged in the road rage episode. The Secretary of Security for the State of Mexico took to Twitter on December 4, 2022, to announce that law enforcement had successfully apprehended the individual responsible for the incident.
