Beginning. She just hit our car. Shes pushing us off the road. Shes knocking on our window saying shes a cop. For some, road rage can be the ending. She had every opportunity to change her mind and not chase my brother across two freeways. In just the last 24 hours, a new assault with two Deadly Weapons, a pickup truck and a gun. A promising young life cut short. This is now a murder case. Tonight, freeway fury. Hello, im elizabeth vargas. David is away tonight. Take a look at that. All the traffic and tail liglig. This weekend, its going to be worse. Experts say more than 44 Million People are expected to be on the roads. And with all that traffic, there are bound to be flaring tempers. How does road rage start . What should you do if you get caught up in it . Heres eva pilgrim. Reporter we all have it in us, even if we dont know exactly where it is. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. Reporter a limit, a breaking point. A dark place where civilization ends and animal instinct takes over. And there may be no faster way to get there than right here on the roadways of america, at the intersection of velocity and violence. We have two victims here. Reporter youve seen the stories leading your local news. Another case of road rage in reporter and polluting youtube. What feels like a daily diet of road rage reports. Just last week, this shocking video of an incident on a california freeway leading to a multicar crash. Call 911, chris. Reporter nearly half of all drivers surveyed have experienced some form of road rage. Here in denver, the milehigh city, drivers are hitting new lows. Officials reporting deadly crashes have been slowly creeping up for several years. We know youre fed up. So are we. Reporter we came to see for ourselves. It didnt take long for us to find it. Rocky mountain rage. Golly, that guy he was almost in our lane. You want reasons . Look around this citys rush hour turns freeways into ant farms, its a stop and go sea of brake lights. What typically should be a 30minute commute, can take nearly an hour and a half, enough to turn any driver into a ticking time bomb. I was surprised at how bad the traffic is in denver. Its heavy. Heavy, its crowded, and its aggressive. Reporter captain jeff goodwin of the Colorado State patrol is fighting the uphill battle against an army of hot tempered motorists. Dont [ bleep ] touch me there is that group of individuals that get up helterskelter every morning, theyre never on time. And theyve got to make up time, so how do they it . They do it by pushing people out of the way, cutting them off changing from the inside left lane all the way to the exit ramp right as they get there. Reporter goodwin believes hes pinpointed the root of the problem. With more than 100,000 people transplanting to denver every year, its as simple as too many metal machines, not enough pavement. I used to think it was Something Like people cutting you off, but you know one of the things that people really get angry about is if somebody honks the horn at you, because youve sat too long at a light. I think they literally go from dr. Jekyll to mr. Hyde. Reporter around the country, its not just gangbangers and street thugs mixing it up, it could be any of us. Take a look at these guys in business attire doing the wwe smackdown. We showed the good captain goodwin some examples of bad behavior, and he provided us some potentially lifesaving road rules to help you. Rule number one dont make eye contact. This motorist is out of control. And the victim is doing all the right things. Reporter stare ahead, dont engage . The minute you engage, who knows where this goes. Reporter rule number two never approach the window. All right, wow. Okay, this is more than over the top, because you now have a gun involved. Reporter you never know whos packing heat . Exactly. Reporter is approaching someones window ever a good idea . Never do it. Reporter and most important, rule number three you dont always have to win. Looks like its going to be over. But as we see in this case from houston, the parties involved just cant help themselves. Here we go. There you go. Reporter now theyre at full blown fist fight. The longer this goes, the worse its going to get. Reporter it looks like they just need to win the argument. Thats what it is. Reporter it was 4 15 when we hit the road with goodwin and his team. They prowled the interstate looking for bad behavior. Were looking for aggressive drivers. Reporter triggers, which often lead to the road rage we see on the news. So, this is a 75mile . So, were doing 17 in a 75 at rush hour. Reporter within minutes, goodwins team has spotted a common breed, a texter at the wheel. He says distracted driving, the number one offense that sends drivers into road rage. How does that end up leading to road rage . Well, when shes texting, she is not paying attention to everybody else out here. Reporter next, we cross paths with a lead foot speedster, the deadliest kind of aggressive driver. I could see him in the Rearview Mirror weaving in and out. He was trying to find that opening. Reporter and thats when people get mad . Right. Reporter it was now 5 45, the road rage witching hour, goodwin says the peak time for trouble. And the cops had busted this aggressive driver for skipping the offramp, and blazing her own trail altogether. Right now there is a warrant for your arrest. Oh, my gosh. Reporter her prize, some new bracelets and a ride in the fast lane to the county clink. She doesnt have a valid drivers license either, so thats been canceled and denied so she shouldnt be driving anyways. Reporter wed found ourselves at a notorious hotspot. So this, right here, is the frontage road where we have a lot of our issues. Reporter and, got a dose of full frontage fury. So people will be frustrated. They will come off the frontage road. And then they actually will do this, believe it or not, they will drive here. Reporter holy cow this is so steep and they will find that steep drop down to the interstate. And they will bounce their way back onto interstate 25. All because they are angry about sitting in traffic. Offroading on i25. Reporter yeah. As friday rush hour traffic mounts once again, we spot this guy, who thought he could make up time, bypassing all the drivers ahead of him, riding along the roads shoulder. But hes going nowhere fast, today. Sir, do me a favor and stay in your car while we do this business. You passed seven or eight cars going over that white line onto the shoulder. Thats not a lane for turning reporter like many road rogues, this guys idea of defensive driving is making excuses for his alleged moving violations. He even called 911 to complain about being pulled over. He stopped me first on the train tracks, with a train coming down the road. Now that hes caught hes upset. Hes not in agreement at all. Thats his beef. There goes a guy there he goes reporter check out this truck. The driver has jumped the median, passing up other cars, hightailing it the wrong way into oncoming traffic. Put your hands where i can see them. Reporter captain goodwin pulls him over, hand on the holster. What was it . You got kids in the car. I havent seen anyone drive that aggressively in years. He was doing 90 miles an hour i charged him with reckless driving. He just didnt plan on having any Law Enforcement to stop him today. Reporter and dont think its just a ychromosome thing. You see a lot of aggressive driving from both sexes. Reporter everybody drives crazy. Yeah. Reporter when we come back, well prove it to you. A wild woman at the wheel. We go around, she speeds up.

We had boyfriends that were friends. And then we kicked them to the curb, and then we stayed friends. Reporter okay. We knew what was good for us. Reporter carefree on their way for a fun weekend in reno. Cell service is fading, the road is getting quiet and lurking far behind in their rearview, a truck, driving fast, aggressive, right towards them. Sounds like the open to a slasher flick, but this tale is as dark and real as a hot coat of tar across i80. And youre about to see it play out in real time. Meet vanessa and delanie. Vanessa, a student and waitress, delanie, a former miss california contestant now also a waitress. The duo just looking to let off some Service Industry steam. Looking forward to us drinking and not serving drinks. We werent in a bad mood. We were by no means in a hurry. That wasnt us that day. Reporter i jumped in vanessas car, and we headed north to unspool the rest of our tale. We saw her in the Rearview Mirror cutting between cars and i would say that was trouble, but i didnt think we were personally in trouble. Reporter then, delanie broke a Cardinal Rule of road rage prevention, flipping the bird. At what point did you flip her the bird . After it had been going on for id say a good ten minutes. Reporter in life in general, are you a flipping off type of person . No im normally really calm. Did you want to strangle me . Im guilty of that, too, of flipping off drivers. But you would never expect it to escalate the way that it did, you know . Reporter actually, experts say thats exactly what you can expect. You never know who youre flipping off and where their heads at. When you add a Little Finger into that, maybe the one finger salute. That creates crazy in a heartbeat. Reporter whether it was delanies salty salute or not, the truck inexplicably began to try and push vanessa off the road. Thats when delanie starts filming her homemade horror flick. Like, i almost want to stop and pull over at an exit no because then shell get out of the car. Dude, i dont know what to do shes in the slow lane next to me and she just starts pushing me, like coming into my lane and pushing me into the shoulder of the fast lane, to the point where i have nowhere else to go. I have to come to a complete stop in the middle of the highway. Reporter she calls 911, but reception is bad. Finally, summer barton answers their life line. Do you remember what you thought when delanie first called in . Okay, this ones real. Like, this is serious. Just drive. Just keep driving. I cant, dude i know. Just keep driving as well as you can. Youre fine, i promise. Hi, we have a really bad emergency on highway 90, or highway 80. We have a vehicle that has been following us, telling us that shes a cop and keeps trying to tell us to pull over. And shes swerving us off the road, she keeps trying to hit us off the road. Im freaking out dude, shes going to kill me yes, she just hit our car. She just hit our car shes pushing us off of the road yeah, shes pushing us off the road.

Its a ford explorer. It says sport track. Its silver. Shes saying that shes a cop. Dont shes knocking on our window saying shes a cop. Go ahead and go. Go. Reporter summer listens in, reminding delanie of that crucial rule, avoid eye contact. Thats scary when you hear whats going on. The hardest thing was looking straight forward, talking to the 911 operator saying, shes pounding on my window and i dont know what to do. And we both said later, like, what if she had a gun . Reporter turns out, the california woman with the Richter Scale rage issue was Deirdre Orozco. That badge . From her job at a Senior Living facility.

Reporter orozco ended up parked on the lawn of a house a mile or two away. She was going crazy. Reporter now shes been released on bail and back on the attack, hauling a wide load of anger Management Issues in that twoton truck. Dude, she is so crazy. She just hit my car. She hit us. Okay. Your main goal was to figure out where they are. It says next right, fuel. Reporter summer knows that just down the road from that gas station is this chp outpost. She tells the women to exit at the gas station, and hopes the police can intercept. Youre her lifeline . Mmhmm. Reporter how does that make you feel . Responsible, you know, for her safety. Okay, theres an officer right now with us. Okay. Thank you so much, maam. Reporter this is where it happened. Today, weve arranged a little surprise. And these are the officers who were there.

We did make it to reno, shaken up. Reporter it wasnt quite the girls weekend you had in mind . Didnt start on the right foot.
