Two men were arrested after an apparent road rage incident Friday left one man clinging to the hood of a speeding SUV on the Massachusetts Turnpike, police said.

Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said the late afternoon incident started when two vehicles were involved in a minor sideswipe collision in the westbound lanes in Weston sometime after 4 p.m.

The two drivers became embroiled in a verbal altercation, and at one point 65-year-old Richard Kamrowski, of Framingham, jumped onto the hood of the second vehicle, a 2016 Infiniti QX70 SUV, Procopio said. At that point, the second driver, 37-year-old Mark Fitzgerald, of Lynn, drove away from the scene with Kamrowski on the hood of the car.

Fiitzgerald sped up to as fast as 70 mph, slamming on his brakes and accelerating again, in an apparent attempt to force Kamrowski off the car, police said.

The car was stopped by good Samaritans at 4:43 p.m., and troopers arrested Fitzgerald on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of a property damage accident.

Kamrowski was charged with disorderly conduct.

Anyone with information about the incident, including witnesses to the initial collision, are asked to contact the state police Weston Barracks at 781-431-5050
