A road-rage encounter that started on Montour Boulevard in Montour Township ended with one driver pointing a gun at the other near the intersection of Red Mill Road and Hunt Club Road, according to police. Both drivers involved, identified as Michael Mirabile and Matthew Usefara, now face charges including recklessly endangering another person, along with five additional charges apiece.
According to Montour Township police, the incident unfolded around 12:35 p.m. on Saturday, October 31, 2026, when Mirabile was traveling north on Montour Boulevard (SR 11) and encountered Usefara driving a silver Nissan Pathfinder on the on-ramp to Mall Boulevard (SR 42). Police said Mirabile tried to pass Usefara, who slammed on his brakes, after which Mirabile crossed over the concrete divider into the southbound lane and eventually turned onto Red Mill Road.
From there, the confrontation escalated rather than ended. Police said Usefara followed Mirabile, passed him, and then braked abruptly himself, causing Mirabile to strike the back of Usefara's vehicle. As reported by fox56, Usefara then got out of his vehicle to confront Mirabile, who police said pointed a gun at him and told him to call the police.
Investigators Reviewed Dash-Cam Footage
The police account states that Officer Tonkinson reviewed written statements and dash-camera footage from the incident before filing charges against both men. After examining that evidence, investigators determined that Mirabile had been traveling at a high rate of speed and had crossed into oncoming traffic, the same police account notes.
The public report lists five additional charges against Mirabile. Both Mirabile's and Usefara's arrest listings show identical charge counts: recklessly endangering another person plus five additional charges each.
What Pennsylvania Law Says About the Charges
Recklessly endangering another person is classified under Pennsylvania law as a second-degree misdemeanor, defined as recklessly engaging in conduct that places or may place another person in danger of death or serious bodily injury, according to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Separately, state statute defines reckless driving as operating a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of people or property, per the Pennsylvania General Assembly, which also specifies that a conviction under that section carries a $200 fine.
The incident, which police say began in Montour Township and ended in a crash near Red Mill Road and Hunt Club Road, remains under the jurisdiction of local investigators. No further details about the specific weapon involved, the outcome of the charges, or either driver's account beyond what police described have been released.
