Police say a road rage confrontation resulted in a tractor-trailer flipping over on a New Jersey highway.
Mahwah police say the driver of an SUV thought a truck was being driven aggressively and was recklessly changing lanes on Route 17. Police say the SUV driver pulled in front of the truck and slowed down.
Video released by police on Tuesday shows the truck driver lost control and hit the median before the trailer slid across the highway. No other vehicles were struck.
Both motorists were issued tickets for careless driving.
Police say the SUV driver should have called 911 to report the tractor-trailer driver.

just tickets? for risking life and limb?
What a ridiculous claim. The truck flipped with no relation to the SUV whatsoever.
Don’t see anytime pulling in front before the crash. Just looks like the semi took a curve too fast and flipped over.
What road rage?????????????? The trailer simply flipped over while driving through the curve too quickly. I watched the whole clip carefully. Why would any of the vehicles in this clip deserve a ticket??????????? So, either this video has nothing to do with the story mentioned, or we are living in a weird world. You choose the correct answer…………
There might have been road rage before the truck accident, but the truck flipped over without the SUV even on the highway anymore (SUV exited). The trucker (or on his insurance claim) should be responsible for paying for the damages to the road and median.
