Springfield man accused of accelerating to push car 300 feet in road rage incident

A Springfield man accused of using his car to push a different car with a child inside almost 300 feet was indicted this week.

Donald Taylor, 57, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault and one count of aggravated assault in Clark County Common Pleas Court.

Police began their investigation when they were called to the scene of an accident close to the intersection of Leffel Lane and South Limestone Street on April 13. There, police were told by a woman that Taylor had crashed into her and kept accelerating after the accident, according to an affidavit.

A child was in the woman’s car, the affidavit says.

Taylor said the woman had “cut him off”, according to an affidavit.

“Mr. Taylor was asked if he stopped after the crash, and he first stated he did, but later stated he did not and continued to accelerate while pushing (the) vehicle,” the report says.
