The quote from the story that caught my eye,
"The situation could have turned ugly had law-enforcement officers not become involved when they did, said a Colorado State Patrol trooper who asked not to be identified."
A driver used his truck as a weapon numerous times to force people off the road and came within inches of killing or injuring them, from my point of view it did turn ugly.
Yes it could have been worse, but to say that this situation could have turned ugly is rididculous. It was an ugly situation that could have turned deadly.
