Police in Central Bohemia are investigating a violent road rage incident on the D6 highway near Jesenice involving 43-year-old Tomáš H. The suspect is accused of multiple offenses, including attempted bodily harm, rioting, and attempted theft, after allegedly attacking a female driver following a dispute over speed limits in a construction zone. The victim’s eight-year-old daughter witnessed the assault and managed to preserve evidence by hiding a dashcam under her seat when the assailant attempted to seize it.

Following this event, investigators reopened a criminal inquiry to examine a previous incident from October 2022 on the same highway. In that earlier case, the suspect reportedly used a vehicle to force another car into a breakdown lane and verbally abused the occupants, including two children. While that case was previously closed as a misdemeanor, authorities are now investigating whether the suspect used his motor vehicle as a weapon and are pursuing potential charges related to extortion.

Prosecutors have now identified the suspect as the same individual convicted of a fatal 2008 accident in Sokolov. That case involved a high-speed collision with a 60-year-old pedestrian at a crosswalk, for which the driver was found guilty by the Sokolov District Court in May 2009. Petr Havlíček, a prosecutor from the Sokolov District State Prosecutor's Office, confirmed the link between the individual convicted in 2008 and the person suspected in the recent D6 highway assault.
