A bizarre case of road rage was caught on video in Sacramento on Monday as a Chevrolet Trailblazer was filmed repeatedly ramming into a Honda CR-V and causing serious damage.
According to the Sacramento Bee, the incident started earlier in the day when 40-year-old Garcia Alvarez had “some sort of disturbance” with another driver and began following their Ford Fiesta. After trailing the Fiesta for an undisclosed amount of time, Alvarez reportedly rammed his Trailblazer into the car multiple times before fleeing. Sgt. Vance Chandler told the paper the victim wasn’t seriously injured and didn’t need to be taken to the hospital.
After leaving the scene of the original incident, Alvarez continued to drive down X street until he began ramming an unoccupied CR-V for no apparent reason. After thoroughly damaging the crossover, he exited the Trailblazer and jumped to the CR-V to continue his rampage.
Police arrived shortly thereafter and found Alvarez still on the roof of the CR-V. He was quickly arrested and transported to the hospital as he managed to fall off the crossover during his temper tantrum.
Alvarez was eventually taken to the Sacramento County Jail and he is reportedly facing felony charges for vandalism and assault with a deadly weapon. It remains unclear what caused Alvarez to snap but police said he had narcotics in his system at the time of the incident. This helps to explain his erratic behavior but still seems odd that he focused so much of his anger on the CR-V which had nothing to do with the initial road rage incident.
