A young man who was the victim of extreme road rage in the middle of Notre-Dame Street in Montreal can count himself lucky to have suffered no injuries, even though his vehicle was deliberately pushed into a ravine.
The incident, which could have had much more serious consequences, took place at around 1 pm on rue Notre-Dame Est, near the intersection of rue Alphonse-D.-Roy, in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
For an as yet unknown reason, the enraged driver allegedly deliberately caused a collision with another 20-year-old driver.
His SUV then veered off the road, before plunging into a ravine and ending its journey upside down on the Canadian Pacific Railway.
