Steve Smith

In a shocking road rage incident on a Dallas interstate, a car driver braked abruptly in front of a big rig causing the truck to come to a full stop. The angered motorist then confronted the trucker amidst the fast-moving traffic.

Dash cam footage: The entire altercation was caught by the truck's dash cam and uploaded by a YouTube user on April 18, 2024. It reveals the dangerous lengths the motorist went to just to shout at the trucker.

The trucker's take: The dash cammer said he was simply changing lanes when the car driver, who he hadn't seen, also tried to switch lanes. The motorist got angry and berated the trucker before driving away.

The video serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unpredictable actions on the highway, especially in busy areas like Dallas. The truck driver is shaken but unharmed.
