A rush hour road rage incident on the M4 in Wiltshire saw one man get out of his vehicle and start damaging a van.
The incident took place at around 8.30am on Monday morning, October 21, when one driver came to a stop at the M4's Junction 17 traffic lights.
The male driver who was heading towards Chippenham exited his van while waiting at the traffic lights on the roundabout and tried to open another man's locked van door.
When he was unable to get in, the rage-filled driver began forcefully pulling on the door, kicking the van, and damaged a wing mirror.
