Susquehanna Township resident Carl Shuman was heading home from a business trip in Pittsburgh Monday night, and after a pleasant drive, he pulled up to the toll booth at the Carlisle exit, ready to pay his toll.
There, he was stunned by something that in his more than four decades of driving and in his professional life as an employment-law attorney, he had never encountered -- not like this, anyway, he said.
As the car in front of him left the booth, Shuman noticed the toll collector shaking his head and smirking.
"He said something very close to, 'Them black people. You give them directions and they don't understand a thing. They can't even speak English.'" Shuman said.
He was shocked.
"I was trembling," Shuman said about that statement and what followed. "I was that offended and outraged at what had just transpired."
He filed a complaint on Tuesday, kicking off an investigation by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.
"It's certainly something we want to correct and something that we don't tolerate," said Carl DeFebo, spokesman for the commission. "I want to send a very strong message. It shouldn't be happening."

Is it safe to drive while “trembling?” Given his fragile emotional state, Mr Schuman put other drivers’ lives at risk.
The guy was trembling? OMG!
Clint Eastwood said something about this being the pussy generation or something. He sure was right.
Trembling!
Gee! A quail egg has thicker skin than this guy!
“I was trembling,” Shuman said about that statement and what followed. “I was that offended and outraged at what had just transpired.” Im tired of this bull, he was trembling? this guy sounds like a white privileged cupcake
“He called it a “Trumpian” experience, referring to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.”
Says all I need to know about Mr. Shuman.
He heard the toll taker make a statement out loud (apparently to himself, not directed to anyone), possibly with his window up, while other traffic was around, on a busy freeway, is that correct? How could he be sure what he heard?
This is a tell that the statement which follows is a lie.
For 15 years it’s been ‘ Bush’s Fault’.
Now it’s Trump’s turn.
Exactly, I am sure he buys his Depends at Shur Save. Most of the people in Susquehanna County would have laughed and been on their way up I 81.
Seems another Trump hit piece. Isn’t it interesting that so many of these “racial insults” are completely unwitnessed by anyone but the complaining liberal.
Moot point PA Turnpike going all EZ. pass in a few months.
If this guy routinely travels for business, why wouldn't he have a FastLane transponder to avoid having to even stop at toll booths?
I have a feeling we'll eventually discover this idiot made up the entire story to simply push an anti-Trump narrative.
Liberals are not well anchored in reality. Reality for them is whatever narrative they are pushing at the time.
No, that was Gersh Kuntzman, the guy whose name has become synonymous with “bed-wetting pantywaist.”
Poor Carl. They never threw a party for him!
He finally saw an opportunity to get his day in the sun, so he took offence at what an innocent toll collector said to him. The collector was under the mistaken impression that Carl wasn’t a sanctimonious twit who awakened to an idea.
He could make a statement for the Hillary followers and work Trump’s name into his tempest in teapot.
This will be America under a President Hillary. Charge someone with a ‘hate crime’, get them fired and add a USSA merit badge to your lapel.
If I was the guy behind this twit and he put his car in park in order to cause a scene I would have put my truck in 4WD and pushed this asswipes car all the way home!
Yes it is. I didn't much believe the media before, but it's almost to the point that I don't believe one single solitary word they tell me. If they say the sky is blue, I will go outside to verify it, before I believe it.
Well, I never!
