Yesterday, in the Tampa area, a road rage incident went off the hook as the driver of the car in the video below rammed his car into a motorcyclist and his passenger, knocking them off their Harley-Davidson. Once they were on the ground, the driver proceeded to run over the bike before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, both rider and passenger appear to be OK in the video. The same can’t be said for their motorcycle.

According to local news reports, the driver was apprehended by Florida Highway Patrol. Robert Vance, the alleged driver, has a history of run-ins with the law including other incidents of hit and run. Vance is currently detained at the Pasco County Jail, awaiting trial for three felony charges: aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, leaving the scene of a crash involving injury and operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license (habitual offender).

The charges against Robert Vance who is being held in the Pasco County Jail in Florida.

A video of the altercation is below:

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
