Watch 12-Minute Road Rage Tirade: Man Rams, Kicks, Stomps SUV

SACRAMENTO, CA — For 12 chaotic minutes, stunned motorist Niki Guinn videorecording the road rage playing out on the street in front of her house in Sacramento: A guy in a white SUV plowed into an unoccupied blue SUV, then backed up and rammed it again and again until it finally stopped moving. Then, he jumped out of his vehicle and onto the top of the disabled SUV and started stomping on the windshield.

As it turned out, Guinn caught the tail-end of the June 4 road rage incident. Police said started on the Cap City Freeway near Fifth Street, and another driver called to report having been rammed by a vehicle identified by police as the same white SUV.

Police identified the driver as 40-year-old Jose Garcia Alverz.

Police spokesman Sgt. Vance Chandler told the Sacramento Bee that jn the first incident, Alvarez used his Chevrolet Blazer to force a Ford Fiesta off Interstate 80 near Fifth and X streets, followed the driver and rammed the Fiesta several times before fleeing.

From that point on, Garcia was focused on the blue Honda CRV, which he managed to push into the intersection of 10th and X streets by repeatedly ramming it, police said. He was still on the roof of the Honda when police arrived.

Officers moved slowly and kept their distance, but were able to detain Alvarez after he fell off the roof of the SUV, Chandler told television station KTXL.

Alvarez, who police suspect was under the influence of an unspecified narcotic, was sent to a local hospital for evaluation. Upon release, he faces charges of felony assault and vandalism.

Guinn, whose video has been widely shared, said watching the situation unfold was unsettling.

"I was actually really scared," Guinn said. "It felt unreal to watch it"

She has unanswered questions about what provoked the road rage.

“What was he going through?” she told KTX. “Why would he do that? We don't know.”

Guinn has restricted the permissions on her Facebook video, but you can watch this video of what happened, from YouTube:
