Two drivers let their tempers take the wheel and ended up in a double crash disaster after a full-throttle road rage incident spiraled into a high-speed chase stretching from Wheelersburg to New Boston.
It all kicked off when witnesses reported a silver truck and an SUV barreling down Gallia Street, not just speeding — but raging, ramming into each other like something out of a demolition derby.
By the time the chaotic convoy reached Walmart in New Boston, the situation exploded. One vehicle smashed into the other, sending both spinning out of control in a screeching mess of rubber and rage.
But it didn’t stop there.
One of the furious drivers jumped back into their mangled ride and sped off toward Sciotoville, with the Ohio State Highway Patrol in hot pursuit. The chase finally came to an end on Route 52 East of Wheelersburg, where the vehicle was stopped and the madness finally hit the brakes.
Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, but the message is clear: road rage is a fast lane to disaster.
RAGE CONTROL 101:
If you feel yourself heating up behind the wheel:
- Take deep breaths.
- Avoid engaging with aggressive drivers.
- Pull over safely if you’re losing control.
- Remember: a bruised ego is better than a totaled car — or a criminal record.
Authorities say the Ohio State Patrol is handling both crashes, but incidents like this highlight just how dangerous unchecked anger can be when combined with 4,000 pounds of steel and an open road.
So next time someone cuts you off, resist the urge to go full Fast & Furious. Because in real life? Road rage doesn’t end with credits — it ends with sirens.
