Road Rage Leads To Murder/Suicide

"LAKE HELEN, FL - The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol are investigating what appears to be a case of murder and attempted suicide. It happened at approximately 6 a.m. this morning on eastbound I-4 near mile marker 116 in the Lake Helen area.

"The Florida Highway Patrol initially investigated an incident where investigators said a 2001 Ford pickup truck driven by Chrstopher Jodon, 44, of Sanford intentionally rammed a 2000 Ford Explorer SUV, partially ejecting the female driver and causing the SUV to overturn.

"Jodon got out of his pickup and `committed a violent act` on the SUV's driver, according to the Highway Patrol. She had injuries that were not consistent with those from a crash.

"Jodon then inflicted a wound on himself, law officers reported.

"The female SUV driver, who remains unidentified, was pronounced dead on the scene. Her name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. Jodon was airlifted by Sheriff’s Office helicopter to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he is in critical condition as the result of a self-inflicted wound."
