Watch: Harrison Ford Angrily Directs Midtown NYC Traffic

Legendary actor Harrison Ford hopped out of his car and began directing traffic near the Park Avenue tunnel during a fit of road rage.

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — Road rage is a common occurrence on the gridlocked streets of New York City, one that not even legendary film actors can escape. Harrison Ford, the actor behind some of the world's most iconic characters such as Indiana Jones and Han Solo, was seen barking out orders to drivers after his car got stuck in the Park Avenue Tunnel this weekend.

Ford exited his car Sunday afternoon and began directing drivers behind him to switch lanes so he could avoid a backup caused by an accident in the Park Avenue Tunnel, according to video acquired by gossip site TMZ. The actor, who was in no mood to wait, was seen waving directions to cars and shouting "let's go! get out!" according to the video.
