A video from the dashcam of a Corvallis man has been viewed almost nine million times on Facebook.

It all started during an after work commute in the beginning of June. "It was a Friday afternoon," Mike Mathews told The Albany Democrat-Herald. "People are trying to get to their weekends."

Mathews was in Albany, headed home, when he pulled out onto a major street behind a speeding car. The car then slowed down.

"When I got behind him, he I guess decided I got too close," Mathews said.

His dash cam shows the car "brake-checking" Mathews three times in a row by stepping on the brakes in the middle of the road.

When the car went to make a left turn, Mathews followed.

The light turned green and what happened next turned Mathews' drive home into a hit on Facebook.

"It happened in slow motion," Mathews said. "He went sideways. He comes back around. He jumps up on the sidewalk and his car is left at a 45 degree angle hanging on the guide wire."

The car was hung up on the wire with zero wheels on the ground. The driver attempted to reverse but since no wheels were touching the ground, that didn't work.

Mariano Acosta Aguilera

According to the Albany Police Department, the driver of the vehicle, Albany resident Mariano Acosta Aguilera, 51, was arrested on charges of DUII alcohol and reckless driving. He was also cited for not having a driver's license.

Aguilera was booked at the Linn County Jail and immediately released.

For Mathews, the video has been a whirlwind. "Within 48 hours it had 5 million views," he told The Albany Democrat-Herald.

And he certainly isn't mad at Aguilera.

"The second his car was at a 45 degree angle, any animosity between us was over at that point," Mathews said. "I was actually concerned for his safety."

"I guess I would thank him for the adventure," he added.
