There was no stopping this SUV driver over in the States after he crashed into several cars before fleeing the scene. He must have thought he was still playing GTA V.

The video was recorded in Lakeview, Chicago, recently and shows a cab driver attempting to stop a person in a black SUV from driving away. According to media reports from the US, the driver of the SUV tried fleeing after rear-ending the cabbie, causing $3,000 worth of damage.

However, instead of straightening things out with the cabbie the SUV driver reversed and crashed, before driving off and crashing into yet another four cars only meters down the road.

The action starts around the 1:20 mark.

Seems a tad reckless, right?

Well, the SUV driver had reason to flee the scene as the black Nissan Murano was actually stolen. Police currently have the driver in custody and according to DNAinfo Chicago the cab driver “remains with the company, though he will be disciplined for confronting the SUV driver”.
