Video Of Wild Road Rage Incident In Tampa As Couple Attempt To Destroy Car At Intersection
A minor traffic crash escalated into violence at the corner of US-301 & MLK Blvd in Tampa yesterday. if you're unfamiliar, that area of Tampa is just south of the Florida State Fairgrounds. (Our sales assistant Jessica saw Dave Matthews there). In the video, the man and woman are seen attacking a Chevy sedan driven by a woman from Brandon. According to Fox 35 "The witness who recorded the video told another bystander that the person in the Chevy had hit the couple's car and driven away." At least one shot was also fired before the recording started.
Well Tampa, I have some thoughts.
First of all, I'm trading in my car and getting a Chevy. Apparently the windows Chevrolet is using are completely indestructible. Dude was banging so hard on that window that his gun flew out of his hand. It did not break. That woman was stomping on the windshield. It looks like they broke the door handle off, but the windows were all intact. Also, to the lady in the Acura filming the altercation. Clean up that mess. You got bottles and trash all over the floor of your car.
"If she hit you and keep going, that's a charge!"
Mayor Of Tampa Renames City Ahead Of Taylor Swift Concerts
Taylor Swift is coming to Tampa this weekend and the Mayor of the city just made a huge announcement.
This Thursday, Friday and Saturday Taylor Swift will be playing Raymond James Stadium. To celebrate, the Mayor of Tampa, Jane Castor, is giving Swift the key to the city and even invited her to be the honorary Mayor for a day.
In addition, much like how Glendale, AZ renamed itself to "Swift City" ahead of Taylor's concerts there, Hillsborough County has renamed itself to "Swiftsborough". The City of Tampa will have Old City Hall, the Tampa Riverwalk and other bridges downtown glowing red in honor of Taylor Swift as well.
Whether you're going to the concert and want to avoid the long lines, or just want to get your hands on some merch, there's good news. We've been hearing stories about absolutely insane lines for Taylor Swift gear, but the Eras merch truck will be arriving in Tampa a day early. Find all the info here
