“A Toyota Rav4 and Honda Civic were travelling southbound on Upper Wellington when the Honda made a driving action that caused the Toyota to stop abruptly,” police say.
The two drivers verbally confronted each other outside their vehicles.
After both returning to their vehicles, the Honda was rammed from behind, causing major rear-end damage and pushing it into the intersection.
