> A road rage incident in Massachusetts turned into a terrifying
situation that left one man clinging to the hood of an SUV while
it traveled up to speeds of 70 mph down a turnpike, police said.
>
> Investigators said Richard Kamrowski, 65, and Mark Fitzgerald,
37, were involved in a minor sideswipe on I-90 Saturday
afternoon when the two men pulled over to exchange information.
>
> They started to argue -- but the encounter escalated in a huge
way when Fitzgerald tried to drive away and Kamrowski jumped on
the hood of his Infinity SUV, state troopers said.
>
> “I thought he was going to run over me and, I don’t know, I
don’t think he stopped, he just kept going fast then slow, fast
then slow trying to get me to slide off, and I wasn’t getting
off the car,” Kamrowski told Boston 25 News.
>
> Police said Fitzgerald continued to drive two to three miles
and reached speeds as high as 70 mph while Kamrowski continued
to cling to the hood.
>
> Other drivers tried getting Fitzgerald to stop. Eventually,
one driver ordered Fitzgerald out of his SUV at gunpoint so he
could be arrested, troopers added.
>
> “The SUV driver ultimately came to a stop, we believe with the
intervention of some Good Samaritans, and was taken into custody
by responding troopers,” Massachusetts State Police spokesman
David Procopio said.
>
> Fitzgerald didn't answer questions from reporters Friday. He
was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, among other
counts, while Kamrowski was charged with disorderly conduct.
>
> Both men are expected to face a judge Monday.

> A road rage incident accelerated quickly on Friday afternoon
when a sideswipe led a Massachusetts man to hold onto the hood
of a speeding SUV for approximately three miles on the state
turnpike.
>
> Police told NBC Boston that Richard Kamrowski, 65, jumped onto
the hood of a white Infiniti SUV that belonged to Mark
Fitzgerald, 37, after a verbal altercation over a minor traffic
accident on Interstate 90 about 20 miles west of Boston.
>
> Fitzgerald apparently had enough of the two men’s
confrontation at some point after their collision and attempted
to drive away, but Kamrowski then jumped onto his hood and held
on while Fitzgerald drove for “a very significant distance,”
police said.
>
> Though Fitzgerald pushed his small SUV up to speeds as high as
70 mph during the incident, no one was injured. The driver was
eventually stopped by others on the roadway, one going so far as
to point a gun at the SUV to convince him to stop the car, NBC
Boston reported.
>
> "I thought he was going to run over me," Kamrowski told the
NBC affiliate. "I don't think he stopped, he kept going fast,
slow, fast, slow, to get me to slide off."
>
> Police arrested both men: Fitzgerald was charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon, negligent operation and leaving the
scene of a crash causing property damage and Kamrowsi faces
disorderly conduct charges.
> [....]
> NBC Boston was unable to get a statement from Fitzgerald about
the incident, as he ran away from their camera and jumped into
another car, slamming the door behind him.

They're both nuts. Mr. Kamrowski jumped on the hood of the car
while Mr. Fitzgerald gunned it and after finally being stopped
by other motorists ran away from their camera and jumped into
another car, slamming the door behind him.

I wonder if he knew who owned the car or if he just picked it at
random?
