Innocent Bystander Shot in I-95 Road Rage Incident Dies From Injuries

An innocent bystander who was shot during a road rage incident and wreck on Interstate 95 near Philadelphia over the weekend died of his injuries, according to authorities.

On Saturday, March 29, about 2:30 a.m., Pennsylvania State Troopers responded to a report of a crash involving two automobiles on I-95 northbound near mile marker 28.4 in Philadelphia.

When the troopers arrived, they found a 2009 white Acura TL abandoned in the right lane. The Acura sustained significant damage to the rear end, as well as many bullet holes throughout the vehicle. Behind the Acura, they discovered a 1984 red Ford Mustang with substantial front-end damage and many bullet holes in the windshield.

The driver of the Mustang, Aiden Zeallor, 21, of Levittown, Pennsylvania, was shot in the head. He was brought to the Jefferson Torresdale Hospital. On Wednesday, April 2, state police stated that he had died of his injuries.

A 21-year-old guy from Smyrna, Delaware, was brought to the hospital for injuries sustained in the incident.

Police then discovered that the driver of the Acura TL, a 26-year-old man from Philadelphia, was picked up at the scene of the incident and sent to the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to his leg.

On Saturday, I-95 northbound was stopped for several hours due to the incident. Police think a third car was involved in the incident and fled the scene before state troopers arrived. Police have not described the car or any suspects. They are still investigating.
