Road rage incident forces women into oncoming traffic. (CREDIT: AMELIA FLORES) In a fit of road rage, a man passes a woman on Daniels Parkway near Gulfcoast Medical Center, brake-checks her, and she’s seen going into the median into oncoming traffic while the man drove away. The woman, Amelia Flores, said she was freaked out by the road rage incident and it was all caught on camera. Flores’s dash cam shows a red truck tailgating her when suddenly, the truck quickly gets in front of Flores and forces her to into oncoming traffic. “I had to think quick and move into the only available lane too,” Flores said. “I lost control and swerved into oncoming traffic hit a couple of curb a couple of times. Had the see the car swerve to miss me.” “I was very angry when I saw him driving away. I did catch up to him at the next slide,” Flores said. “We were side by side. And I yelled at him for driving me into oncoming traffic and he laughed at me” Since this happened last week Flores has been working from home because she’s afraid to drive down Daniels Pkwy. WINK News learned exclusively that the Lee County Sheriff’s Office found the guy driving the truck. However, all they could do is ask him to never do that again.
