The battered Saab in Road Rage Incident

About a year ago there was an unpleasant incident – Dad in North Carolina rescues daughter from Saab 9-3 SE Convertible as it is repeatedly rammed by road rage driver. Father Christopher Jost in Raleigh pulls screaming daughter from Saab after enraged driver slams into their car. ‘He hit us again! Oh, my God,’ he tells 911 dispatcher.

The road rage driver, identified as Remy Blaisdell Gagon, 25, followed Jost into the parking of a Whole Foods in Raleigh, N.C., and continued slamming into Jost’s Saab convertible. “I’ve got a guy that’s following me, and he’s rear-ended me and now he’s following me again,” Jost tells a 911 operator as his daughter screams in the background.

The father tells the dispatcher that he has pulled into the gourmet grocery store’s lot and is circling, but the other driver was still bashing into the car. Jost dragged his daughter from their sedan and ran with her into the Whole Foods. The driver followed them on foot and chased them around the store until police arrived, the station said.

Gagon faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault and one charge of careless driving for this night car attack.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
