HOUSTON – At a news conference on road rage earlier this month at Houston City Hall, Mayor Sylvester Turner couldn’t contain his rage anymore regarding the violence impacting Houston area roads and the victims – young and old – caught up in the crossfire.

“And hell, if you’re not mad, you ought to be mad,” said Turner.

For well over a year, cases have been popping up across the Houston area. The harsh reality is that once you enter a freeway, the violence can roll up in seconds.
