YouTube helped the Colorado Springs Police Department solve a road rage confrontation in which a motorcyclist harassed a person in a car and the driver swerved into the motorcyclist, causing the person to crash.

The incident that happened around 11:30 p.m. Monday was captured on camera by a witness and posted to YouTube, according to a Colorado Springs police report.

The road rage incident on the 5800 block of North Nevada Avenue was initially reported as a hit and run, the police report says.

Officers viewed the YouTube video, which was clear enough to lead them to the two road rage suspects.

After viewing the video, Falcon Division police officers arrested the driver of the car, charging the person with second-degree assault, and the motorcyclist, on a charge of harassment.

The names of the suspects have not been released.

The nature of the altercation between the motorcyclist and the car driver was captured on the video. Whoever took the film caught the car driver swerve over and collide with the motorcyclist, toppling the rider.

“CSPD encourages citizens to call police instead of taking matters into their own hands,” the report says.
