ROAD RAGE IN POZNAŃ — 70-YEAR-OLD DEAD, SHOULD A 19-YEAR-OLD GO TO PRISON?

Yo Poznan!

Poznań streets turned into a crime scene after a routine honk spiraled into deadly chaos. July 8th, Świerzawska & Marcelińska intersection: a 19-year-old in a Ford lays on the horn at a 70-year-old taxi driver creeping through traffic. Tempers flared. Words turned into fists.

Witnesses say the older man got out first, fired up and aggressive. The teen swung back — just one punch. But that one hit sent the 70-year-old crashing to the ground, skull smacking hard against the asphalt. He never recovered. More than a month later, he died in the hospital.

Now Poznań is asking: was it murder, manslaughter, or a tragic accident in the heat of the moment? Police admit the 70-year-old came at the kid first, but does that make the knockout self-defense — or reckless force that cost a man his life?

The 19-year-old faces investigators, possibly a courtroom, maybe even prison. Meanwhile, a family buries their father and grandfather, all because of a beef over traffic.

So here’s the real question, fam: Should the 19-year-old pay with years behind bars, or was this just a split-second mistake on the streets — an accident of anger?
