WATCH: Hit-and-Run Driver Crashes Into Five Cars on North Side
A cab driver attempts to block the SUV after the driver hits the taxi.
We have a new contestant for world's worst driver.
This YouTube video — taken on the 1400 block of West Belmont Ave. — is going viral, and depicts a cab driver trying to block a SUV that rear ended him. The cab driver jumps in front of the SUV to get the driver to stop, but the SUV escapes and drives away - crashing into four other vehicles as it happens.
The incident occurred on Oct. 30 at 4:14 p.m., and the vehicle was stolen, police told DNAinfo Chicago. The driver is now reportedly in custody for the accident, which caused over $3,000 in damage to the cab alone. The driver, Cometas Dilanjian, with City Service will miss at least a week due to the damage to his vehicle, and he'll be disciplined for confronting the driver.
Check out the video of the incident above — things really heat up at the 1:20 mark.
