A week after video surfaced of a man

smashing a woman’s windshield with his fist

, we have a new entrant in jaw-dropping incidents of road rage. This one comes from Massachusetts, where motorists captured cell-phone video footage of a man clinging to the hood of a white

Infiniti QX70

at high speeds in traffic on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The would-be stunt double is 65-year-old Richard Kamrowski, who had gotten into a minor side-swipe accident on Saturday with Mark Fitzgerald, 37. The two had pulled over to exchange information when things apparently got heated and Fitzgerald began to drive away. So, naturally, Kamrowski jumped on the hood.

“I though he was gonna run over me,” Kamrowski told reporters, adding that he repeatedly pleaded with Fitzgerald to stop. Instead, video footage suggests Fitzgerald gunned the gas, reportedly hitting speeds of up to 70 mph.

that another motorist was able to box in Fitzgerald against a media wall, then got out of his car pointing a handgun at him until police arrived. Kamrowski told reporters he hung on for survival for at least three miles and somehow managed to dial 911 while riding on the hood.

Both men were arrested. Fitzgerald faces charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, negligent driving and leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage. Kamrowski was charged with disorderly conduct. The man with the gun reportedly had a license to carry and was not charged.

Thankfully, no one was injured.

Back in December, a Maryland woman gave a man a similar hood ride — in that case,

he was a police officer

, and the driver hit speeds of 80 mph. He, too, was able somehow to hold on with one hand while dialing 911 with the other.
