One party called 911 saying they observed a vehicle swerving behind them before it collided with their vehicle at a Weyerhaeuser roundabout, pushing their car forward. There was no reported damage to their car’s bumper, however. When the caller exited their vehicle to speak with the driver of the other car, the suspect car sped off. The caller was able to obtain the vehicle’s license plate. A short time later, according to the report, the driver of the swerving vehicle called to say he was involved in an accident at a Weyerhaeuser roundabout after the car in front of him “brake-checked” him. After that, the male said the people in the first car got out and started beating him up, giving him a swollen lip. The male refused to come to the station so his injuries could be verified, and hung up angrily on officers when they tried to question him further. When officers contacted the occupants of the first vehicle and confronted them about what the second driver had said, they confirmed they did punch him in the face and try to pull him out of the car. An officer completed an exchange of information and traffic incident form, which was provided to the occupants of the first car.
