New dashcam video shows what led up to road rage incident on Dallas highway 

This video has just taught me that I need a dash cam..

Truck driver was being an as*hole. With driving like that you'll someday meet your match and quite possibly your maker all in one stop. Never underestimate you're opponent

The truck driver is a clown.

It all makes sense now

So ... there are at least two idiots on the road in this video.

I don't think this is the beginning of the incident either. Truck/trailer driver was clearly upset about something hence why he cut the driver off twice. SUV driver was making the slowest lane change ever. He was in the middle of the highway for a good 10 secs. Still feel like there's more to the story we don't see.

Using a vehicle as a deadly weapon could only escalate the situation to a person being shot and killed. Road rage isn't worth it folks! 😒

Crazy that both drivers just so happened to have dashcams

So the truck driver started cutting him off for no reason?

Everyone blamed the other vehicle. Unless there’s more we haven’t seen

**What Actually Happened *** The driver of the SUV Robert Johnson Jr. edited the video to leave out the previous two minutes, where he was upset that the truck didn't allow him over. The black truck was traveling approximately 5 miles over the speed limit but was slower than most of the flow of traffic. It appears from witness testimony that the trucks spend is what insiteded the SUV driver and that the driver of the SUV was in the far right lane when possible realizing it was an exit only lane. Suv attempted to get over, and the truck either didn't see Robert or purposely didn't allow the SUV over this took place for approximately a 1/4 mile prior to entering on-ramp. The SUV driver appeared to try and take out his frustration on the black truck. Witnesses say Robert struck the trailer lightly once, possibly twice in what seemed to be an attempt to either file a bogus insurance claim for damages or he was simply out of control in his anger. The driver of the truck was on the phone with 911, and dispatch advised him to "Not Stop" and to try and keep the SUV at a safe distance behind him. This is where Robert chose to start sharing his video clip as the black truck is attempting to keep him at bay. All of this happening while on a dangerous overpass with no breakdown lane and only a small shoulder. This seemed to anger Robert Johnson even more. The already raging driver then continues to ram the truck repeatedly. The driver of the truck remained calm and followed the 911 communicationd operators direcions of not stopping until police could find him. The truck driver was not certain if the car was still in chase and stayed on the phone with dispatch. Police never arrived to the truck by the time it reached the city limit. At that time the truck driver was advised to continue driving home and file a report on the following Monday. Robert Johnson seemed to exit Marsh Lane, pulling into a Sams parking lot where he played victim to responding officers. Robert Johnson Jr. claimed the truck driver randomly hit him for no apparent reason. Robert Johnsom then doubled down claiming victim again to WFAA providing only a small clip of his dashcam insinuating the driver of the truck was at fault. Last reported, Dallas PD was filing assault charges on the SUV driver, but edited video may force a civil case in lieu of a criminal case. Acquaintances of Robert Johnson Jr. claim he has a long history with anger control and has had several incidents of road rage.

I give folks who are poor drivers a lot of space. There are a lot of poor drivers out there. Since the advent of smart phones. Driving takes a back seat to driving correctly. I see it as a truck driver. What was worse is the guy with the dash cam engaged with him. He put everyone in danger by not maintaining the minimum speed. Have your squabble someplace else. NOT on a divided highway. He got what I suspected was going to happen. Both drivers are at fault. Yes the truck with the trailer was the instigator. But showing who is boss could have caused a tragedy?

Normal commute in North Texas😂

I’m not convinced this is the full story either. For starters, who takes a total of 11 seconds to merge from one lane to the next? That was one of the slowest lane changes I’ve seen at the beginning of the video which makes me think he was doing it on purpose.

I believe that something is still missing because I think this was not where the road rage started, you can notice the speed at which the escape driver was driving and also changing lanes super slow why?

How stupid is the person in the camera car? Fine, you were hit and the guy is running....back off and call the cops! Let them handle it! It will be much worse for them and you don't end up with a totaled vehicle....

That’s not road rage. That’s a hit and run. You better believe we are stopping or I am following you until the cops get there.

No winners in these battles.

The other view from the truck is out there as well...I thought there was some swerving earlier too...but once the truck hit the car that was the game changer...

Why is there no audio? Is the driver posting this video trying to hide something, like his honking the horn or swearing at the other driver?

shows the importance of knowing the whole story. guy should have got the plate and reported it as a hit and run though. But in that case there is no plate on the trailer it appears

If you don't have dashcams in all your vehicles by now, you should get them immediately.

All the videos edited to show they victims. Always more to the story someone left out

Guys we still don't have the whole story. The dashcam shows this car merging over from passing lane to the next lane over but he does so strangely and stays in the middle of the road in both lanes for a while. We needed to see why the truck was so ticked off. If I had to speculate, this dashcam proves he cut off truck driver and held him there. I don't think the proves anything other than the fact that we are still missing the whole story.

People have absolutely lost their gourd! Sheesh!

What lead up to the lead up?

I think it's something before that

This is clearly not everything, something happened even before that which we aren't privy to.

Both drivers are jerks.

First the other video comes out and then this one, these two could have been raging for miles who knows

I believe there is still more to the video

Both drivers are at fault. I don't think this video does much to acquit the SUV driver, if that was the intended purpose.

It takes two to tango.....baby!

Just reading the comment section shows how fast a situation can escalate 😮

This is definitely not the start of the incident, lol. That cammer was going much slower than the flow of traffic, and took absolutely forever to make a lane change. Look how much faster than Corrola was going after the lane change was finally made.

Another partial video.

What happen before this video that led to the other video? Only both parties know.

Typical. People hauling trailers and not being aware of that extra length behind them.

Be very interesting to see what charges are filed and against whom they are filed.

Why blackout at 0:09?

Both of those vehicles are operated by idiots that shouldn't have a driver's license.

You literally filmed your own road rage. Good for you.

How is it that no one in the state of Texas can drive a pick up? Or tow a trailer. In my experience some of the dumbest drivers are in Dallas Texas.

I try to be extra careful and courteous even if someone wrongs me on the road. Driven truck over 2 million miles in my career w/o any at fault accidents. I had one accident but the other guy fell asleep and hit me with no way for me to avoid it. People have 2nd amendments in their cars nowadays and that's an easy way to get hurt really badly or worse. Be safe out there, people.

I still feel like we're missing the first part of this video

Clear hit and run by the pickup. The SUV driver was probably trying to get them to stop or to at least read the HIDDEN License Plate. People with trailers should be forced by law to have the exact same license plate as the vehicle towing it on the trailer or else get a $5,000 ticket for each offense.

Don't hog the left lane!

Looks like the truck with the trailer tapped that car

The Dallas Police Department said there is an ongoing investigation into this incident as it is being investigated as a car accident. The preliminary investigation determined that an SUV was traveling eastbound on the 2800 LBJ freeway. The SUV attempted to change lanes and cut off a pickup truck, according to police. The pickup truck then drove around the SUV and hit the SUV...

Both in the wrong

Dallas experienced rapid growth without adequate infrastructure development. Highways are consistently congested with reckless drivers. It's imperative to install cameras and implement automation to remove dangerous drivers from the roads. Ensuring the safety of our family members is paramount. Both drivers should have been in jail for endangering others in the middle of high-speed highway.

I don't miss driving in the metroplex AT ALL!

There's always more to a story...

I can’t read the rest of the description!

It takes two to tango

Does the DFW area require everyone to have dash cams?

From my take. The cammer started it with the slow merge to the other lane, truck w/trailer getting even pulled in close, cammer instigated the rest instead of letting it go.

the truck driver started it and the other driver was stupid enough to challenge him

Dump truck like “out the way fools”😂

Some people are just dangerous. It doesn’t matter what they’ve got control of.

Looks like the truck driver with the trailer hit the dashcam vehicle with his trailer as he pulled in ahead of him (just after the 0:30 mark) Then instead of stopping (he may not have realized he hit him) he kept driving, and the dashcam vehicle tried to get in front to stop him, but the truck/trailer driver probably took offense because he didn't realize why.

This “new footage” doesn’t really help.

Even if this was the start, which i doubt, the car driver is still more at fault. He/she should have followed the truck and called police instead of going into rage mode and ramming the truck

I understand.

Both are foolish. They need to check those mammoth egos prior to driving. How many innocent people could have easily been drawn into their garbage? 😡

I guess both are at fault?

Is there an update on what happened next??

In the previous clip, I made a comment that "we should see what led up to this before making a judgment" because 100% of people were blaming the car.

That’s on the SUV. You have to understand that people are jerks sometimes. All you had to do was ignore him and continue living life. Wasn’t even worth it. SMH.

The most Texas thing I've seen all day!

This is insane how in the world do THREE SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS have video footage of this road rage incident??? Lol now all cars have their cameras out to ready to film anything and everything.

why would you even try to use your suv against a bigger pick up and a trailer....you not gonna win..

Both are wrong.

Tailgate braking by SUV was not advisable. You got his plate # and video. You created a hostile situation further. Trailer driver possibly had reason to believe you'd escalate violence with a gun.

Ummmm… avoid an accident and putting uninvolved motorists at risk.. do your best to get the plate and call 911. This was handled all wrong by the person initially hit.

No way to tell who started it as what happened before this video started?

That's why a always say their's more to the story. The 1st time this came out, people made it seems like the car driver was the aggressor and the truck was a victim. What I seen was two immature drivers or what we call clowns.

We need to see before this

Some of the people with dashcams are out looking for trouble, both literally and figuratively. Is it any surprise that they keep finding it? We’ve gotten so narcissistic that we record our own bad driving so we can share it with the internet for some validation. Humans are fascinating.

I moved out of Texas over four years ago. I went there for work a month ago, never seen such pitiful behavior from the locals before this last trip.

This doesn't show what happened before....

Watching that video I'm thinking the guy who took the video is completely at fault because of the beginning of the video you notice he's riding in the middle of two lanes for several seconds and he kind of swerves back and forth I believe he was pinning the dude with the trailer behind him the whole time instigating the whole situation and creating it

He failed to include the length of the trailer. He was not trained!

Now show us what happened before this...

Bart Simpson School of Driving "Outa my way, Man!"

Also notice the SUV break checking the white car prior to whatever happened that he didn't want us to see when his video pauses.

I would say 90% of road rage is caused by slow drivers in the left lane who refuse to merge right

I don’t think neither of these guys are getting paid by their insurance companies. In addition, chances are their insurance premiums will go up because their reckless driving behaviour. Nobody wins.

Any typical road in Merika, everyone needs to be first !

This looks like episode 2 of 4 ive seen episode 3 we need the first episode !

I had a guy twice my age follow me 22 miles, over 2 highways and down many back roads. It got so bad I had to draw my firearm, and the cops tried to string me up on it. Well two grand, a whole lot of stress, & several months later charges dropped for me completely. The old guy I'm sure is off doing it to other people.

"I forgot I was towing a trailer today."

The “road rage” driver just was just trying to stop a hit-and-run driver. Good to see he’s been vindicated for all the false accusations.

Truck driver doesn’t know how to drive and most of all he doesn’t care. His license should be suspended immediately.

No trailer got mad and big lost is crazy

SUV driver is the WORST! Both drivers are foolish ragers, but SUV driver does the INEXCUSABLE move by stopping on an interstate highway ramp! SUV driver should get the most serious citation for intentionally endangering all those drivers who may pile up behind.

Where is the 3 minutes before the video starts?

I suspect this all started a couple minutes before this footage begins....

soooooo...the dude with the trailer is not at fault for clipping the left front of the other person.....????

never seen a pick up and thought "college degree"
