“I'm probably going to die.”
That’s what an 18-year-old was thinking when a road-rage incident in Gwinnett County escalated to him being dragged by his head out of a car window.
And it was all caught on the teen’s dash camera in his truck.
“It would be just my word against his if I didn't have it,” the teenager told Channel 2 Action News.
The teen turned onto Ga. 316 near Buford Drive when another driver allegedly ran him off the road, the news station reported. The other driver, identified as Emmitt Grubbs, came around from the shoulder and blocked the teenager, resulting in a bumper-to-bumper collision.
The road rage didn’t stop there.
Grubbs allegedly punched the teen in the face, took his keys and went back to his car. Wanting his keys back, the teen pursued Grubbs, Channel 2 reported. At that point, Grubbs put him in a headlock and dragged him about half a mile at 40 mph.
“As he was dragging me, he said I'm going to kill you,” the victim told Channel 2.
The teen didn’t go without a fight, however. He was able to kick Grubbs in the face and hit him with a baseball bat.
Grubbs was arrested on charges of robbery, aggravated assault and aggressive driving. He bonded out of jail Wednesday.
He was charged in 2016 with simple battery in another road-rage incident and sentenced to 12 months of probation, Channel 2 reported.
