Insane video: Female SUV driver drags man, smashes car while speeding between pumps at Chicago-area gas station. It just gets worse from there.
April 17, 2023
A female SUV driver was caught on video dragging a man and smashing another car while speeding between pumps at a Chicago-area gas station over the weekend. If that isn't unhinged enough, seconds later, the driver overturned the SUV in spectacular fashion on the street.
What do we know?
Police in Forest Park, Illinois — a village about 20 minutes west of downtown Chicago — on Monday told TheBlaze the action unfolded around 3:10 p.m. Sunday and involved a "domestic" situation, but that's all they would reveal.
Based on the video, it all went down at the Thornton's gas station and convenience store on the corner of Jackson Boulevard and Harlem Avenue.
The clip begins with the driver of the SUV in question in some kind of dispute with a pair of women who are near the vehicle and on foot. One woman yelled at the driver while another appeared to throw a drink at the SUV.
While this was happening, a remarkably calm man dressed in a dark T-shirt and blue jeans — who appeared to be with the SUV driver — was bonked in the head by the SUV's driver-side door when it darted backward. A number of onlookers saw that as amusing.

Soon the SUV driver motored around to the other side of the gas station while one of the previously mentioned women continued yelling at her.

The man who had his head bonked appeared to try to restrain the driver — but the SUV driver accelerated, shot sideways between two gas pumps, smashed into another vehicle, and dragged the man across the gas station lanes.

The shocking scene didn't end there, however.
As the man who was dragged rose to his feet and began to walk away, the SUV driver sped from the gas station and into the street before a horrific bang was heard.

The individual recording the cellphone video headed into the street and discovered that the SUV driver apparently got into a wreck and overturned the vehicle on Harlem Avenue just past the Jackson Boulevard intersection.
A number of onlookers seemed pleased with that outcome. One of the women in the earlier dispute with the SUV driver yelled, "You dumb ass, bitch!" over and over at her.

Amazingly, the SUV driver appeared to exit the wrecked vehicle rather quickly and apparently unscathed — albeit minus one shoe — and her coup de grâce response to all the derision was a "Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!" cackle as she walked toward her adversaries, at which point, the clip ended.
