Do you want to kill me over that? Do you want to kill me over that? Do you want

to kill me over that, all right?

Yo, chill out.

Come on.

Let's have a battle for my day. What, with a battle?

In the last few years, the number of Americans on the road has skyrocketed.

And that means more traffic, more accidents, and

also more.

Rage.

With violent road rage of nearly 500%.

This

is where the rubber eats the road.

Over the years,

Road rage has been given labels like epidemic and public health crisis.

Oh, my God, he's kicking it. And nothing underscores that more clearly than

road altercation that involve firearms.

According to Everytown Research and Policy, the number of injuries and

involving guns has increased every year since 2018.

And like many road rage encounters, most probably began with a minor slight,

intentional or otherwise, and escalated from there.

Like this situation.

That seems to have started over a simple traffic infraction.

And leave even the driver who appears to

admit to the offense.

Seemingly incredulous that it has come to this.

Fortunately, in this case, reason wins out.

But the 554 victims who were injured or died as a result of road rage shootings

in 2022 prove that that is not always the case.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

According to news reports.

The driver of this pickup truck has allegedly been driving dangerously and

performing burnouts down the main strip of this seaside town.

A reckless ride that up ahead comes to an abrupt

stop when, according to news reports, he rear -ends the SUV ahead.

Moments later, the suv driver steps in front of the truck reportedly to block

from leaving to no avail

which prompts an immediate response

from the suv driver's fiance who's apparently

armed and the conversation

between the two

Does not cool things down.

As the truck continues forward with the woman in front.

And the man with the gun edged into the SUV.

An alleged gunshot is heard.

Sending the truck fleeing down the street.

With the woman having just gotten cleared.

The couple leave the scene moments later.

But witnesses capture the SUV's plate information.

According to news reports, the truck driver is unhurt.

But the 37 -year -old alleged shooter is arrested days later. And according to

court records, charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied motor

vehicle. Possession of a weapon during an attempt to commit a violent crime.

An attempted murder.

Just one more example of how the introduction of a firearm

makes things significantly worse

for everyone.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an

view due to glare on a car's windshield

may be a factor in as many as 42 ,000 crashes each year.

And though these glares can be caused by a number of things, those caused by

sunlight can be especially dangerous.

As the lights rays hitting the windshield can leave a driver

to what's in front of them, which is not only terrifying to motorists driving

into the sun,

but also anyone in their path.

It's a fall evening in New York as a biker with the sun at his back records

widely weaving ride down a suburban route with friends.

And though he wisely moves to the right as he sees oncoming traffic ahead, some

of that oncoming traffic apparently doesn't see him.

As the biker passes a turn -off road, a white SUV begins to turn left, its

driver appearing to have their visor down and apparently unable to see the

biker.

The devastating crash knocks off the biker's helmet, while he is sent flying

off onto the side of the road.

Moments later,

The biker's friends arrive and immediately rush to his aid.

Unfortunately, finding him non -responsive.

Emergency crews soon arrive to assist the injured biker and

transport him to the hospital.

The rider claims he sustains serious personal injuries from the accident.

According to him, neither he nor the other driver are charged in the

But regardless, a stark reminder that whether driving into

the sun or away from it, the most important thing for everyone on the road

to drive defensively.

Frustrations on the road can be caused by any number of reasons.

But impatience at being held up

is certainly one of the more common ones.

In this instance, the small amount of time the driver of the red sedan was

delayed at the turn.

Appears to have set him off.

And his reaction.

Threatens to delay him even more.

Fortunately,

this biker doesn't take the bait.

And both men go their separate ways.

But not all drivers are so averse to confrontation.

In London, a trucker appears to attack a sedan driver who seems to have cut

in front of him. But rather than pull away from the altercation, the sedan

driver makes an unwise choice.

And then escalates things.

The sedan driver gets in two swings of his belt before the larger trucker

pummels him against the fence and overwhelms him.

While this is happening, the sedan driver's passenger, seemingly frustrated

this macho exhibition, beats herself behind the wheel.

Then, as the two men square off, and continue to go back and forth, a would

peacemaker enters the scene, which seems to end

things with one exception.

A sucker punch.

A cheap shot that wisely

goes unanswered.

In Colorado, a brutal example of how quickly the pursuit of a suspect

can go off the rails.

State troopers join local law officers in pursuit of a vehicle,

which according to media reports, began when local officers responded to a

report of shots fired and the driver of the now -pursued vehicle fled, causing

multiple accidents along the way.

With the suspect already proving to be a danger to others,

a quick decision is made.

Officers immediately train guns on the suspect, making sure he's not a threat.

When they approach, they find him not only compliant, but

seemingly bewildered.

He's secured in handcuffs and checked for weapons.

Lift up.

Then escorted to the back of the lead unit.

Hey, get in the car.

And locked in.

Okay.

After a search of his vehicle turns up a handgun.

It was loaded and chambered.

The officers take a moment to piece together the litany of offenses.

The man has allegedly committed.

While inside the lead car.

As radio chatter about the case comes through.

The apparently overwhelmed suspect makes a dangerous decision.

He works his handcuffed wrist under his legs.

Pushes his way through the small window that leads to the front seat.

And then...

The chase is on again, except this time the suspect has a powerful police

cruiser.

The dash cam of which is being here.

And with the cruiser's radio, an ear to

everything the police are saying.

So before plotting their move, the officers shut down his eavesdropping.

Disable the radio, please, 4723.

Disable the radio.

From this point on, the dash cam is from the stolen vehicle, while the radio

chatter is audible only to the other officers in pursuit, leaving the suspect

the dark about their plan of action.

As the suspect continues to pull ahead, the officers get to work.

I need as many sets of stop sticks set up as you can get.

Stop sticks are designed to poke small holes in tires that drain the air

smoothly, preventing a blowout and possible high -speed crash.

Passing with 390.

Speed's 123.

Units ahead get in position.

A short distance ahead.

He dodges another strip.

Did he get him?

Am I taking this?

For their next attempt, officers find a spot with guardrails on both sides of

the road, preventing him from swerving around.

As a trooper prepares to pull the stop sticks into the driver's path.

And with traffic stopped and moved to the shoulder ahead, the stage is set.

The suspect tries to veer around the stopstick, but loses control,

smashing head -on into a semi's trailer.

The semi's driver appears to be okay, while

the semi's trailer, the stolen squad car,

and the suspect inside it are not.

We got any more fire extinguishers? Let's get them over here until we get

Any bottles of water or anything that anybody's got in the vehicle? Something

here. On this other side, though.

Something in there.

The suspect appears to be trapped.

He's alive.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Talk to me.

Hey, Jay.

Jay. And severely injured.

According to state troopers, he's rushed to a local hospital.

But despite their diligent efforts, the severe head injury proves to be too

much. And the suspect doesn't survive.

No other serious injuries are reported.

According to news reports, the trooper whose squad car was taken is put on

administrative leave, but is later reinstated.

A somber reminder that the decision to run from police

is the kind of risk that is never worth taking.
