A woman was dragged along a busy road by a motorist during a road rage row.
The 50-year-old confronted the driver of a silver Nissan Sentra at his open window after an alleged side-on collision.
She demanded that he take responsibility for the damage and tried to prevent him fleeing the scene.

But the car suddenly surged forward and hauled her around 100ft (30 metres) along the tarmac.
Footage showed her desperately clinging to the door before losing her grip and crashing hard on the ground.
The driver sped off without stopping as she lay motionless in the path of traffic.
Other motorists slammed on their brakes and rushed to help the stricken woman.
The incident took place in Monterrey, Mexico, at around 4pm on Monday (3 Aug).
The victim has been named as Abyeni Judith Ortiz Maya.
She was driving a Volkswagen Virtus when the Sentra allegedly struck her car and tried to leave the scene.
She followed the other vehicle, blocked its path, and got out to insist the driver wait for the police and insurers.
Witnesses said she reached into the car in an attempt to stop him fleeing, possibly grabbing for the keys.
She suffered abrasions to her left arm, plus further bruises and cuts to her arms, head, and face.
Paramedics treated her at the scene before taking her to a nearby hospital for checks.
Her injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The Nissan’s number plate was clearly visible in the viral footage.
The driver initially fled but later presented himself to authorities, as reported by Need To Know.
The state prosecutor’s office is now investigating the incident after both parties filed cross complaints.
State prosecutor Javier Flores said: “There are complaints from both sides, one for the traffic accident and another for the subsequent events, where you can see the woman enters the driver’s side.
“We have opposing versions, because the woman says she tried to stop the vehicle so the driver would not flee, and the driver says he was attacked.”
He added: “All of that will be part of the investigation.”
