In the clip, the irate SUV driver appears to be dangerously following and screaming at a man in a white Ford pickup.
“The guy in the RAV was in front of the guy in the truck and he was brake-checking the whole line of cars behind him,” Bagnall tells CityNews. “So the guy in the truck was trying to pull forward around him and he wasn’t letting him. He was kind of like swerving lane to lane.”
Bagnall says the man in the truck eventually got by, but only so the SUV driver could come up alongside him on the shoulder, screaming and flailing at him from out the driver’s window.

The pickup driver then rams the SUV multiple times, turning it 180 degrees and badly damaging both vehicles, before both drivers step out, the truck driver with some sort of stick or bat in his hand.
RCMP have charged both men, aged 45 and 59, with careless driving.
