HOMER, Minn. — A Winona driver was injured when another driver reportedly forced her off U.S. Highway 61 south of Winona, flipping her vehicle, and driving off. The woman blamed road rage. She was taken to the Winona hospital with a severely fractured hand. With the inured woman’s report, backed up by a witness, Winona County deputies began preparing documents to arrest the other driver, who, it was understood, lives out of state. Deputies said they had evidence of red paint from the hit-and-run car. Deputies pieced together this sequence:
> The woman had a falling out with the man at her place in Winona.
> She drove off to recover belongings at his apartment, believed to be in Wisconsin.
> On Mankato Avenue as she was heading toward the Highway 61 roundabout, he butted his car into hers. Both kept on going.
> Once through the roundabout and heading south on Highway 61 she realized he was on her tail her again, driving erratically behind her, alongside, and in front.
> She tried out-accelerate him while also phoing him to back off.
> The other driver then sideswiped her, forcing her car off the road and into the median. Her vehicle rolled. He drove off.
