PLACER COUNTY, Calif. (KCRA) —A woman was arraigned on several charges Tuesday, including reckless driving and obstructing an officer, after a road rage-related crash that took place along Interstate 80 in Placer County this weekend, police said.
A case of alleged road rage was caught on camera as two women say someone posing as a sheriff’s deputy tried to run them off of Interstate 80.
Passenger Delanie Strykul says she and her friend Vanessa feared for their lives on Saturday, as they feel they were targeted by a woman driving a silver truck.
Strykul says the woman cut them off twice, but then slowed down to drive alongside their car.
“When she did that, I threw up my hands and flipped her off,” she said.
Dierdre Orozco followed the women to the waiting California Highway Patrol officers, and was arrested at the scene for hitting the women’s car. She’s charged with assault with a deadly weapon, reckless driving and resisting arrest.
It was a move Strykul says she now regrets. “She pulls in front of us and then pulls her car horizontal and stops us,” she said.
Strykul says she called 911 and spoke to the dispatcher in the video as the woman knocked on her window, claiming to be a deputy.
