Some viral dashcam video was first posted showing a truck’s flatbed trailer rip an SUV’s bumper off. The SUV driver then later shared what led up to that incident.
DALLAS — Multiple dashcam videos show two vehicles involved in a road rage incident that happened on a Dallas highway.
A little before 1:45 p.m. on Friday, a driver in Dallas captured video of a truck with a flatbed trailer and SUV involved in road rage on an overpass between I-35E and I-635. The driver shared it on his Instagram account, @sookmiyagi. The driver of the truck also shared his dashcam video of the incident.
In part of the dashcam video, the SUV driver appears to be brake-checking in front of the truck and trying to keep the truck driver from getting around him.
When the truck drives into the left lane trying to get around the SUV, the SUV then veers to the left as well and crashes into the truck. As the truck continues to drive forward, the flatbed trailer rips the bumper off the SUV before driving away.
After these videos were posted, the driver of the SUV reached out to WFAA through social media and shared video of what appears to be what happened before the videos that went viral.
In that video, the truck driver looks to be changing from the left lane to the right lane without leaving enough room between the SUV driver and the truck in front of him. The truck’s trailer appears to clip the left side of the SUV based on the shaking of the vehicle’s dashcam video.
The SUV then drives into the left lane, trying to get around the truck. However, the truck driver moves into the left lane as well, driving past the left edge of the lane and leaving very little room between the SUV and the edge of the highway.
This looks to be what led to the dashcam video initially posted to Instagram.
The Dallas Police Department said there is an ongoing investigation into this incident as it is being investigated as a car accident. The preliminary investigation determined that an SUV was traveling eastbound on the 2800 LBJ freeway. The SUV attempted to change lanes and cut off a pickup truck, according to police. The pickup truck then drove around the SUV and hit the SUV.
Dallas police say this is documented under case number 034528-2024.
