A driver is in custody after a violent road rage wreck that was caught on camera outside Houston Tuesday night. The incident left a motorcyclist injured.
A couple, driving down U.S. 59 near Splendora called police when the driver of a white Chevy Tahoe struck their car. The woman in the car called police and was reporting the license plate and relaying what happened while the man recorded the continued erratic driving.
The driver of the Tahoe could be seen pulling up to the car as the couple reported he was, "throwing stuff out the window." While talking to the 911 operator the Tahoe driver appeared to hit the front end of the couple's car.
"And he just hit my car," the woman and man yelled to the operator.

When the 911 operator asked for the license plate again, the couple sped up to read the plate again, as the Tahoe driver slammed on his brakes and drove alongside the couple. The driver of the car lowered the window to tell the driver of the Tahoe he had a baby in the car.
“Hey, chill out bro, I got a kid,” the man can be heard yelling at the driver of the Tahoe.
