CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- A Colorado Springs man faces multiple charges after he admitted to investigators that he intentionally forced another vehicle off the road, causing it to flip.

On Thursday, at 7 p.m., the Chaffee County Communications Center received a call of a rollover accident along northbound Highway 285 near MM 135.

The Chaffee County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) and Colorado State Patrol (CSP) responded and found a green sedan upside down on the east side of the highway. According to CCSO, a passerby helped the driver get out of the vehicle before crews arrived at the scene.

Investigators learned a second vehicle was involved in the crash. That red sedan was found sitting on the southbound shoulder of the highway.

According to the sheriff's office, this accident was not an accident, it was intentional. The CCSO determined the driver of the red sedan was driving northbound on Hwy, 285 behind the green sedan, the victim's vehicle.

I read in a reddit thread about it that the guy who caused the accident was a known schizophrenic off his meds or such:

The OP there said he was unmedicated, had been on a rampage the last six or seven weeks.
