Before you guys go on bashing me..I'm going to be straight, I didn't do a damn thing to entice this guy, this just happened about an hour ago.
I normally don't post this..but it shook me up enough to do so.
So here's how it happened:
I was heading home from work about an hour ago. Heading north on RT. 128 towards RT. 3 (which takes me home) , I was cruising along and I immediately swerved around a silver 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer as he had abruptly cut me off.
So I made my way around him to avoid rear ending his truck and I got in front of him. All of the sudden as I get on the on ramp to head north, I look up and I see headlights in my rear view with no bumper , the driver literally had road rage and was trying to hit my car..so I sped up but I was trapped between him at 02 Odyssey that was directly in front of me.
I couldn't push my way forward so I tried to slow down and at the same time I slowed down the guy AGAIN almost rear ends my car, as soon as I saw a clearing a I veered all the way left to the fast lane.
I got a safe enough distance away that I thought I was alright. I'm cruising at 60 mph and then I look up again and it's the same driver. Riding alongside my car trying to get a snap shot of it, so I slowed down to get behind him so he could pass, as soon as I did that he slams on his brakes, I narrowly missed hitting his truck (as I had turned the car sharply left).
Once again he starts chasing me northbound, and I'm trying my hardest to shake him off, so I get in a cluster of cars and in between traffic to gain some distance.
Now this is where it really got fucked up:
I got off at exit 28 (for you locals it's Treble Cove Road in Billerica), I look up and the guy is blasting off the on ramp chasing me. so I blew thru a red light and I crossed a bridge that went over the highway.
I look in my rear view mirror and I see that he crosses right from passenger side to my left trying to run me into a barrier, so I locked up the brakes pulled the e-brake so he keeps going but then slams the brakes and cuts right almost taking out my front end, and like a scene out of Fast and the Furious I had the car turned 180 degrees and I dropped it in 1st gear and tried to loose him.
I look in my side view mirror and the guy literally was driving on the OPPOSITE side of the road trying to catch my car.
I get back on the main highway to go home and I ended up calling the Massachusetts State Police to see if I could get the guy stopped. I stopped on the left break down lane to phone it in but he had done the same thing but on the right break down lane and he had kept a distance so I couldn't make out the plate, there wasn't any way I was going to have him tail me home so I stayed on the phone with the MSP and got off at another exit where two local cops (Tygnsboro) met me off the highway.
I pull over, adrenaline rushing thru me and just straight heat rising off my face.
The guy tried to get out of his truck but one officer yelled at him to get back in his car. They came to me and took my information I gave them the whole story of what went down and how I almost got hit more than once and the 180 I had pulled about 8 miles back.
Told them I didn't want this guy tailing me because :
1. I don't know what his motive was
and
2. I was going to find out the hard way.
After the information was taken down they let me go but I think he had something going on so the cops held him at bay while I took off.
As soon as I left, a State police squad car pulled up, and I think the guy ended up going into custody.
Now I have to go down to the town where I had to do evasive maneuvers and file a police report after my job interview.
