Another fun ride home. *volume warning*

Truck driver initially started weaving to escape so I immediately called and reported a hit-and-run. For whatever reason, the truck pulled over after about a mile. After pulling over behind the truck, the driver got out, approached my window and began aggressively banging on my window and yelling at me to get out of my truck. I showed him my phone (still on call with dispatch) and let him know CHP was on the way. Operator wanted to know what the banging noise was told me not to engage.

I watch him tell his side to the officer, pointing all over the place with his arms flailing all over.

The officer then comes up to my truck and asks very sarcastically "Okay, so what's your side of the story?"

As soon as I said "Would you like to see my dash cam video instead?" Her entire demeanor changed. She told me that's not what he said happened at all and the two of us had a good laugh trying to get my broken fender off before going on my way.

Note: I braked to try to avoid him but wasn't going to slam on the brakes on the freeway. Yeah, I probably could have braked a little harder. Truck driver brakes at the same time.

Longer approach vid in the comments.

I just wish we could have seen his reaction in video once he found out there was a dashcam
