A bizarre road rage incident has been caught on video in Vancouver, Washington.
While the clip doesn’t provide a lot of context, you can see a guy on a scooter apparently screaming and swearing at the driver of a Toyota Land Cruiser.
We can’t see what sparked this, but the Land Cruiser is in the other lane so it’s possible they passed the person on the scooter. Regardless, the Land Cruiser returns to the correct lane while the rider of the scooter speeds up and keeps on yelling.
The driver of the Land Cruiser then slams on the brakes and this apparently freaks out the rider, who also slams on his brakes and uses his legs to stop and stay balanced. He then eggs on the driver of the Land Cruiser by shouting “come on.”

That was the straw that broke the camel’s back as driver of the Land Cruiser snapped and aimed his SUV at the scooter. He then rams it and yells “F*ck off,” before fleeing. Since the driver of the Land Cruiser braked before impact, the collision wasn’t too severe, but it nevertheless sent the rider flying forward. He managed to stay balanced for a bit, but apparently fell after hitting a trash can.
Thankfully, the guy got up and appeared unharmed. He then told a person who was walking in the street that the driver got upset because he stopped to get their hat. Regardless of what happened, the original poster says a police report was filed and authorities apparently have the Land Cruiser’s license plate number.
It remains unclear if the driver has been taken into custody, but this is a good reminder of what road rage can cause. If both people had simply kept their clam, they probably wouldn’t have found themselves in this situation.
