DENVER - An overnight road rage incident in Denver left a Hummer on its side and another SUV with serious damage.

The series of events began on Morrison Road and ended on the 800 Block of South Irving.

Police say two teens in the Hummer got into an argument with someone in a Nissan Pathfinder. The argument continued for several blocks until the teens in the Hummer rammed the other SUV, flipping their vehicle in the process.

Both of the teens were hospitalized with injuries.

1. dad strangles son - darwin in action

how did the hummer lose anyway?

[havocmom]

37. They flip in Iraq a lot

Too many deaths by hummer over there.

[Guckert]

2. Was Arnold involved?? Hopefully he was under the hummer.

[vogonjiltz]

3. Maybe it's wrong...

but this is funny, imagine the look in their faces when they flipped their Hummer. The Hummer is for people who want to find their inner asshole anyhow.

4. Giant Egos, Small Peckers.

Maybe they missed the part about road rage when they watched the government sponsored "safety" propaganda about "Ridin' the Wild Esuvee"

9. My ex-wife,,,

when some one would pass her in traffic with lots of accelleration and bluster would say "now we know who has the smaller penis."

[Redstone]

27. So THAT's what they're using my fucking tax dollars for?

Now I'm pissed. I saw a two-page spread ad for that "esuvee.com" in Car and Driver magazine (which ad costs a small fortune to place), and figured it was some dumb marketing trick from a car manufacturer, so I never looked at the website.

It's the god damn government???

Fuck me, what a colossal waste of our tax money. As soon as I have time, I gotta post this in its own thread--unless someone else would be so kind as to do it first.

43. Bullgooseloony had a thread about it several days ago.

But it's probably outrageous enough to warrant another one. The language is just laughable- "Now, ridin' the SUV, you feel big. invincible. That's good!"

It's a fucking ad for the things.

[DireStrike]

33. WTF Government sponsored Esuvee?

Source for that info please... or is it just an offhand comment?

[Warren DeMontague]

44. I provided a link---

here it is again:

Outrageous.
(Click "watch the ad")

And note that no part of the "safety" message is aimed at protecting other people on the road, just saving your own behemoth from rolling over.

5. Why The Heck

Were two teens in a Hummer? That's too much car for people with that much testosterone.

[jakefrep]

11. The parents got it because they thought it would be "safe" eom

[Toots]

40. Sounds like it is nowhere near the amount of car a Pathfinder is....

Teenagers are driving those things every single day in Iraq and elsewhere.. They flip over just about as easy as a jeep does...

[RebelOne]

42. Everyone here is slamming the Hummer.

Well, I have to admit that I like those beasts. But I can't afford to buy one and the gas for it.

[B Calm]

6. I got to stop speeding up when someone with a Bush bumper

sticker is trying to get around me....

[CountAllVotes]

8. yeah just *tap* your breaks

and scare the holy hell out of em!

[Sanity Claws]

7. Idiot parents

Can you imagine giving those vehicles to teenagers?

[Undercover Owl]

31. teens in a hummer

are a recipe for tragedy.
Sheer idiocy!

[Johnyawl]

10. It's a Hummer-2...

...which is only a glorified SUV. Tall and heavy, with a narrow wheelbase, the damn thing was made to flip.

[sendero]

41. Exactly...

... the H2 is nothing but a glorified Suburban.

[vpigrad]

12. Typical of the type of person that would own such a thing (ntxt)

[Stirk]

13. The "Dueling Banjos" of our time.

[htuttle]

15. More like...

Dueling dinosaurs

[denverbill]

14. Good.

Rich parents of spoiled brats give their kids an enormous gas-guzzling behemoth and the kids wrecks it while trying to run someone else off the road.

I like stories with happy endings.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. Thankfully, due to lack of content, there was no brain damage.

Otherwise, the teens are doing well, watching NASCAR.

[DebbieCDC]

17. Quote

Tierra -- is your quote by the woman who was known as La Pasionaria?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. Yes. Dolores Iburruri. Who was known as "La Pasionaria"

[DebbieCDC]

25. I thought so

I remember that from reading a book in high school called "Or I'll Dress You In Mourning" which had as its backdrop the years of the Spanish Civil War (and I'm glad that my high school and college Spanish allowed me to translate the quote!).

18. This morning on my way to work an SUV abruptly changed

lanes to get in front of me and then she hit her brakes causing me to slam on my brakes and almost lose control. Then I noticed her multiple Bush and christian stickers, including a bumper sticker that said "Not Fonda Kerry". I have a DU.com sticker and a Kerry/Edwards sticker on my car.

Anyway, I gave her the peace sign and she flipped me off. Ah crazy christians, don't you just love them - trying to commit murder on the highway (and elsewhere). Really, how can anyone be so hateful?

[info being]

19. You try living with that flawed belief system...

it would make you cranky too.

[Hatalles]

20. My mom goes w/ the peace sign too.

Kill 'em with kindness -- it hurts 'em more than anything.

[CindyDale]

23. If you see her again, get the license number

She might hurt someone next time.

[jakefrep]

26. The car might have been stolen too...

...since the driver was not behaving in a manner that all of the Christian paraphenalia on the bumper would indicate.

[KurtNYC]

29. Two taxis, first one hits the breaks but the one behind

hits him. First cab goes on to the sidewalk in a kind of controlled skid.

Cab that got hit has a bumpersticker on the back that says "Do Not Tailgate"

Cab that hit him has one that says "Driver's Wanted"

[AllegroRondo]

30. Next time call the police

report them for possible drunk driving.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

21. The kids in the hummer were injured?

Well I guess that throws the theory that they're safer out the window.

So, I guess people just buy them for the extremely horrific gas mileage.

[CindyDale]

24. Instant karma - hope they learn from this n/t

[Radical Activist]

28. What was the age of the SUV driver?

Why is the age of the teens worth mentioning but not the other driver? If the teens were older there age would not have been mentioned. Its always some crazy out of control teenagers fault!

[killbotfactory]

36. They are the ones who rammed the SUV

Teenagers are fucking idiots when it comes to driving. I thought so as a teenager.

[Rex]

32. Revoke the license!

Failure to maintain control over stupid angry brain. I've read stories of people shooting at each other here in Texas, while driving! Scary shit!

[sphincter]

34. Probably not the first time...

...this website have been posted, but for you who haven't seen it:

35. idiots...

GOSH!

[chlamor]

38. Gas Prices got 'em all wiggy-Americans want big-ass cars

[RubyCat]

39. Did the hummer have a bush bumper sticker on it?

Hummer attempts to ram Nissan Pathfinder. Hummer flips over. Damned liberal media.
