Insane California Road Rage Incident Captured on Camera
You almost have to see it to believe it.
It was like a scene from a movie: A pickup truck slams into a car, seemingly trying to run it off the roadway. But only this wasnβt a movie; it was real life for two women who say they were the victims of a terrifying road rage incident north of Sacramento.
And the whole thing was captured on camera.
The incident happened Dec. 20, when Delanie Strykul and her friend Vanessa were on I-80 about 60 miles north of Sacramento, according to the video posted by Strykul.

βShe just hit our car, she just hit our car! Sheβs pushing us off the road, yes, sheβs pushing us off the road,β Strykul says in the video. βSheβs coming for us!β
The video continues as the two women try to get away from the pickupβs driver, who has been identified as 50-year-old Deirdre Orozco of Santa Clara, according to Fox News. They eventually got off the freeway to meet with a waiting California Highway Patrol officer.
Fox News reports that Orozco was ultimately arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of false imprisonment, unlawful use of a badge, reckless driving and resisting arrest.
