Those details are very troubling.
In the first bizarre twist, a woman claimed that Rob Bironas attempted to run her off the road just moments before he lost control of his SUV. We later learned that Bironas’ wife had reported him missing. Bironas reportedly told his wife “good night” before heading to bed. When she went to check on him, he was no longer there.
Now, a new report surfaces from the Tennessean which details another road rage incident before Bironas’ death.
Two students claim that they had told Bironas a strange smell was coming from the exhaust of his SUV. He reportedly responded by saying, “I’m going to kill everybody in your (expletive) vehicle.”
The students then say that they tried to get away from Bironas, but he chased their vehicle and attempted to sideswipe them at one intersection. The students claim they were forced to speed more than 110 miles per hour to get away from Bironas.
The incident occurred at 10:30 p.m. ET — which was the time that Bironas’ wife reported him missing.
It is a really bizarre series of events and the details are troubling.
Daphne Lauderdale, the woman who made the first 911 call, summed it up best.
“It’s a shame. You make one bad decision or choice, and it cost him his life. That’s a shame.”
