Road rage in reverse
This story is from the Cincinnati Cycle Club's Forum.
OK - here's the story...and it's not good. My brother is an Indian Hill Ranger who checked into this for me. Apparently a female motorist passed a small group of cyclists (2 or 3)on Loveland-Madeira Road. According to her (and several witnesses) she honked before she passed and pulled out to what she thought was a safe distance around them and passed. She drove on and down the road had to stop for traffic. The cyclist, who apparently didn't think she passed them safely, caught up to her, confronted her, literally pulled her out of the car and began to beat her about the head, face, etc. He had to be pulled off of her by his fellow cyclists. Her car was still in drive when she was pulled out of the window and it went off the road and struck a tree. The cyclist later apologized and admitted he just "lost it". He was charged with assault. As traffic was stopped, there were several witnesses, all of whom gave basically the same story.
I know I've often got pissed off at cars, but this is just too much!
