Jacksonville woman claims a gun was pointed at her during a road rage incident on the Southside

Jacksonville — It's an incident she likely never forget.

A Jacksonville woman says a gun was pointed at her in a road rage incident on the southside as she was going to work Wednesday morning.

Victoria Furukawa tells our news partners at Action News Jax the incident started after a guy in an older white car cut her off near I-95 and University.

“He got right in front of me, I’m going 75 he’s going probably 60, gets right in front of me, I have to slam on my brakes so hard my car just locks and it just stops working, like the brakes lock up.” Furukawa says.

She says the man stayed close to her as they went south on the interstate. She says when they were at the Baymeadows Road exit she honked and tried to get around him and that’s when he pulled out a gun.

“He’s just straight up pointing a gun at my face just holding it point blank at me like that.” she says.

She says the guy kept following her for a while and eventually she was able to lose him at a nearby exit.

“It was absolutely terrifying. I’m probably gonna have that image in my brain for the rest of forever, being scared about it.” Furukawa says.

She says she called 911 and filed a police report which we are working to get from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office to learn more information about the incident.
