Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office investigators are seeking information about a road rage incident that occurred this evening in greater Bluffton.

Just after 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3, a woman was driving on Cape Jasmine Street near Cotton Grass Lane when a newer model white sedan pulled out in front of her and nearly hit her car.
