A bicyclist and an SUV driver were involved in a road rage incident Friday, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. There were no injuries, but several witnesses reported that the SUV swerved repeatedly, nearly causing a Washington bicycle accident.

The bicyclist said he was riding in the part of the road marked by “sharrows”, symbols meant to encourage drivers to share the road with riders, but the driver of the SUV claimed he was riding in the middle of the road.

Around 1 p.m., the SUV driver began honking and yelling at the bicyclist, slowed down many times, and attempted to cause a Washington bicycle accident by swerving, according to the police report.
