GREENSBORO, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia investigators say they believe a South Carolina truck driver died after being shot in a road rage incident.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Monday that 30-year-old Joseph Lee Briggs Jr. of Manning, South Carolina died Friday after being shot multiple times.

The tractor trailer that Briggs was driving wrecked around 6:45 a.m. on Interstate 20 near Greensboro, crossing from the westbound lanes across the eastbound lanes and into the woods.
