OGALLALA, Neb. (KCAU) — Nebraska State Patrol troopers arrested a Missouri man in connection to a road rage incident Saturday evening in Nebraska.

During the strong winter storm that hit the western region of Nebraska over the weekend, troopers were performing traffic control at the Interstate 80 interchange in Ogallala, when a motorist reported around 5 p.m. MT that another driver had made a threat while traffic was slowly exiting I-80 due to weather conditions.
