An Auburn man was injured Wednesday in a crash in Berks County, in what authorities are saying was a case of road rage.
According to Skook News, State Police at Hamburg, said the incident occurred around 3:15pm, in a construction zone on Route 61, just north of Leesport as 31 year old Timothy Hagedorn II was driving a Harley Davidson and made an abrupt lane change in front of 60 year old Gary Fisher, of Tremont, who was driving a tractor trailer.
Police say Hagedorn made the abrupt lane change to possibly "brake check" the tractor trailer. The motorcycle was struck in the rear and Hagedorn became entangle under the truck.
Witnesses stated that Fisher immediately applied the brakes to attempt to avoid any collision.
Hagedorn was transported to a Reading hospital with severe lower leg and left arm injuries.
The crash is still under investigation.
