Authorities are investigating the report of a driver captured on video going on a racist rant on a California freeway,
The Daily Beast reports.
The driver of a white Jeep Wrangler, who appears to be a white man and who was seen wearing a white shirt and sunglasses with silver frames, is shown on the video hurling expletives and using the N-word at least eight times in the direction of a video on his left, and at one point is seen swerving in the direction of the vehicle recording him. He eventually collides with a retaining wall to his right.
The incident occurred Wednesday on Interstate 880 near Oakland’s Columbia Gardens neighborhood, according to the California Highway Patrol.
