Driver Arrested In Road Rage Crash With Bicyclists

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A Los Angeles driver is under arrest for allegedly swerving in front of two bicyclists during an argument over road rights, causing them to crash into his car.

Police say 58-year-old Christopher Thompson was arrested Friday for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon -- the car – and booked into jail.

Police spokeswoman Ana Aguirre says Thompson argued with the bikers who were crossing his path on a narrow road and pulled in front of them, slamming on the brakes.

The bicyclists were taken to a hospital for treatment of moderate injuries.

Thompson posted $30,000 bail and is due in court Aug. 1.

The district attorney's office is deciding whether to file charges.
