'20/20' REPORT ON ROAD RAGE EMBEDS WITH STATE POLICE FIGHTING THE NATIONWIDE CRISIS AND INTERVIEWS PEOPLE TRAGICALLY IMPACTED IN CAUGHT-ON-CAMERA INCIDENTS

'20/20: Freeway Fury' Airs Friday, June 30, on ABC

Just as it is estimated that a record number of Americans will travel this 4th of July weekend, according to AAA, "20/20" explores the nationwide crisis of road rage. Across the country, motorists are yelling, tailgating and fighting with one another over infractions of the driver code, often caught on amateur video. Correspondents Eva Pilgrim and Nick Watt report on these tense situations and how they can quickly become dangerous and even deadly. In the hour, "20/20" travels across the country to embed with the Colorado State Patrol, as it struggles to rid the roads of rage, and interviews the mother of a former New York Jets running back, shot to death in an apparent road rage incident in New Orleans; a Southern California woman in prison for killing a motorcyclist when she hit him with her car; a Denver "YouTube vigilante" confronting drivers whom he considers hazardous; and two young women who had a near-death experience with a serial road rager outside Sacramento. "20/20" airs FRIDAY, JUNE 30 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
