LA Road Rage Incident

From LAist.com (warning: pictures are a little gruesome):
Christian Stoehr recounts "We were riding downhill at approximately 30 mph when a car came up behind us, must have been doing 50 mph, and the driver started honking at us. We moved to the right in single file within seconds and the motorist pulled along Ron and started screaming at him. He then pulled in front of us with 3-5 feet to spare and slammed on his brakes, giving us no time to stop. I swerved and almost made it, clipping the car and flying through the air and landing in the street. Ron had no room to move and he went straight into the back of the car, putting his face through the back window."


There's more about the incident here and this is being treated as a road rage incident rather than a collision. The driver will be charged with a felony assault with a deadly weapon.
