A road rage incident between drivers led to a two-vehicle crash Thursday morning in Zanesfield.
The crash happened shortly before 8 a.m. on Water Street.
A 2013 Dodge Ram driven by 50-year-old Daniel Monteith of Springfield was traveling northeast on Water Street when a 2020 GMC Terrain driven by 26-year-old Connor Hazeltine of West Liberty attempted to pass.
The two vehicles collided, with the Dodge pushing the GMC off the left side of the road, over a sidewalk and through a yard.
Both vehicles eventually came to rest in a driveway.
The incident began on County Road 5 between West Liberty and Zanesfield, where the drivers gave conflicting accounts of aggressive driving and tailgating.
Both men told deputies they believed the other driver was driving dangerously.
A witness reported seeing the Dodge push the GMC sideways for a considerable distance but did not see what led up to the crash.
After investigating, deputies determined the collision was the result of road rage.
Both drivers received reckless driving citations.
Monteith was also cited for driving left of center, while Hazeltine received additional citations for improper passing and driving under a suspended license.
Both drivers were advised that their reckless driving charges require a court appearance.
The GMC sustained functional damage and was towed from the scene.
The Dodge also sustained functional damage.
No injuries were reported.
