The Mahwah Police Department is reminding drivers that if they see aggressive drivers on the road, they should call 911 and not confront those drivers on their own.

The warning comes after a video surfaced of a road rage incident on Route 17.

Police say that the driver of a gray SUV saw “what he believed to be a tractor-trailer driving in an aggressive manner.” The SUV driver “decided to take the matter in his own hands” by trying to force the truck driver to slow down.

The videos shows that due to the SUV driver’s actions, the truck driver lost control and the tractor-trailer overturned on the highway.

The truck driver was not seriously hurt. But the Mahwah Police Chief James Batelli says that this was not the proper way to handle the situation.

“He could have obviously hurt himself, the driver and any other innocent person that was just driving on Route 17,” the chief says.

Batelli says that there have been an increase in road rage incidents lately. He says that a 2016 study found that nearly 80 percent of motorists expressed significant anger, aggression or rage behind the while at least once in the past year.

Police say that any driver who witnesses other motorists driving aggressively should call police and refrain from engaging the other motorists.
