Bikers and SUV Road Rage

         On Sunday, a group of bikers and a SUV got into a quarrel. A video on one the biker’s helmets captured the whole ordeal.  The SUV accidentally hit one of the bikers injuring his leg. The SUV then proceeded to pull over but when he did the gang of bikers pulled up next to the SUV, slashed its tires and repeatedly hit the car. The SUV, in order to escape, quickly drove off, also hitting three additional bikers. The bikers followed the SUV until it came to a stop due to flat tires. One biker grabbed his helmet and beat the driver’s side window until the glass shattered. The driver was then brutally beaten. His wife and two year old child were in the car who both fortunately received no damages. The driver was taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries. One biker was arrested and police are looking for more evidence that will lead to the arrest of the others who committed this heinous crime.

            Accidents do happen; there is no doubt about that. However, this accident was taken to the extreme. It is scary to know that individuals will quickly respond in such wrath without an explanation. The man did not have any chance to explain that he had zero intentions of hitting the bikers before such damages were done to himself and his SUV. It is simply ridiculous and unjust. It was three against a whole gang. This easily escalated into a worse scenario since the driver could not explain therefore he hit three other bikers. I’m just glad the driver is okay and the bikers are facing judicial action. This article intrigued me based upon the fact that every day road rage occurs, however, these actions are never taken to this extent.
