The video shows a road accident in Wakefield, a witness follows the driver

WAKEFIELD – An apparent case of road rage ended in a crash in Wakefield on Wednesday. The Ring Doorbell video shows the two drivers speeding through a neighborhood before crashing where children regularly play in the streets.

According to the police, the drivers were cited for endangering a motor vehicle.

The piercing sound of screeching tires sent Victor Oliveira running from his home Wednesday afternoon.

“I’ve lived here for seven years, there’s never been an accident like this,” Oliveira said. “Honestly, it was just adrenaline. I ran away and had no reaction other than everyone’s good.”

Police say it started on Route 128 with the two drivers arguing on the road before it spilled onto Salem Street.

When the white SUV crashed into the fence across the street, neighbors said the black car sped off. Oliveira then jumped into his wife’s car and followed the sedan.

“I don’t know what came over me, but I went after him, I wanted to make sure he wasn’t a bad person running away from something stupid,” Oliveira said.

He says the driver left tire tracks in a company parking lot, then abandoned the car and left on foot; Oliveira did the same.

“We’re jumping fences and hitting metal posts,” Oliveira said.

He eventually caught up with the driver until the police arrived.

“While I was on the phone with the police, I said, ‘It’s not worth running if you’ve got nothing on you, stay put.’ He finally stopped and he turned out to be a nice guy and he just was.” scared and nervous,” Oliveira said.

Victor “The Good Boss”

Still, it’s a big risk for Vic to go after the man, so why did he do it?

It helps to know that Vic is no stranger to trying to help. He has a huge following around here as the “Good Boss” who helps the homeless and struggling addicts.

Vic was featured on WBZ’s Changemakers segment for his charity work.

“I like to do good in life,” Oliveira said.

Police say the drivers were not seriously injured, and looking at the damage, the homeowners say it’s a blessing their children weren’t in the back yard at the time of the crash.

“Think before you act,” Oliveira said. “I know we take immediate action when something happens, but try to take a moment and think about the consequences, because this could have been someone’s life.”
