Attack Details
A DoorDash driver in Jacksonville, North Carolina, was performing a routine delivery when a brief exchange of honks escalated into a violent encounter. The driver of a Range Rover followed her vehicle, and in a moment of aggression, swung a wooden baseball bat, striking her squarely in the head.
The impact rendered the driver unconscious, but she eventually regained enough awareness to climb into her own car and make her way to the nearest hospital for treatment. Emergency personnel arrived shortly after, confirming the severity of the head injury.
Investigation Underway
The Onslow County Sheriff’s Office has opened a case, describing the incident as potentially rooted in road rage, though no definitive motive has been established. Investigators are reviewing dash‑cam footage and eyewitness accounts to piece together the sequence of events.
Authorities are urging anyone who witnessed the altercation or who may have additional video evidence to come forward. The suspect’s identity remains unknown, and the Range Rover involved has not yet been located.
