Driver's cellphone use sparked road rage

A motorist intentionally rammed another vehicle and pushed it into oncoming traffic because the driver was using his cellphone.

The driver was talking on his cellphone when a man in another vehicle began yelling at him to hang up, Tellef said. The two men argued and cursed at one another as they continued driving, Tellef said.

"The suspect reacted by intentionally steering his vehicle across the traffic lanes striking the victim's white Chevrolet pickup truck and forcing him across the raised median and into oncoming traffic, narrowly missing two eastbound vehicles," Tellef said.

The suspect then got on southbound Loop 101 and fled, said.

The suspect was driving a white, late-model GM pickup truck that likely has damage on the left side, Tellef said. The pickup had Vietnam Veteran stickers and a baseball bat resting on the dashboard, he said. Article here.
