Driver Dies After Shooting on George Washington Bridge

A 46-year-old driver died after being shot on the George Washington Bridge Tuesday evening, and police are investigating whether the shooting followed a road dispute, authorities and police sources said. Port Authority police responded to a report of a crash on the bridge’s westbound upper level at about 7:06 p.m. on October 20. Officers found the driver with a gunshot wound inside a Volkswagen Golf. He was taken to Englewood Hospital in New Jersey, where he later died, police sources said. His identity had not been released pending notification of his family. Investigators were examining surveillance video and searching for the other vehicle and the person who fired the shot. No arrest had been reported as of Wednesday. Authorities have not established a motive. Police sources described a possible near-collision between the victim’s car and another vehicle before the shooting. Some accounts said a dispute may have followed as both vehicles continued toward New Jersey. Investigators were treating road rage as a possible explanation, not a confirmed finding. The westbound upper level was closed during the investigation, disrupting traffic, and had reopened by Wednesday morning....
