A driver stuck in traffic captured a dramatic road-rage encounter between the drivers of a red Corvette and a Dodge truck. The video shows the truck trying to merge into an exit lane, but the Corvette driver repeatedly blocks him. Frustrated, the Corvette driver rolls down his window and flips the truck driver off, making it clear he has no intention of letting him merge.
In response, the Dodge driver inches forward, revs his engine, and releases a massive cloud of dark exhaust smoke directly into the Corvette. The plume completely engulfs the sports car, and the man filming can be heard laughing as the cloud drifts away. Once the smoke clears, the Corvette driver appears to give up the fight and finally allows the truck to merge.
The incident reportedly took place in Tacoma, Washington, on June 28, with both vehicles carrying Washington State license plates. The man who recorded the moment later posted the clip to YouTube, explaining that he noticed the Corvette refusing to let the truck into the lane before the Dodge driver “coaled him with so much smoke you couldn’t even see the driver.”
The video quickly went viral, gaining more than 553,000 views and over 7,200 shares on Facebook.
