Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office deputies are investigating a possible road rage incident Wedneday in Kingsley.

A caller contacted 911 at 1:43pm to report the incident. According to the caller, an approximately 20-year-old male driver in a mid-2000s white sedan was tailgating, swerving on the road, and displaying hand gestures near Summit City Road and Sparling Road in Paradise Township.
