A mother recorded an apparent road rage encounter on a North Carolina interstate after another driver allegedly cut her off, brake-checked her and repeatedly threatened to kill her while her 3-year-old son cried in the back seat.
Myeka Dunn told FOX8 WGHP that she was driving to drop her son off at her mother’s house at about 4:30 p.m. Friday when a dark blue sedan swerved into her lane.
After Dunn honked her horn, the situation escalated rapidly as the driver attempted to cut her off, repeatedly brake-checked her and shouted violent threats, she said.
“They almost hit me, so that’s when I honked my horn at them,” Dunn said.
Dunn said she pulled out her phone and began recording as the man followed her down the highway.
Video shared online appears to show the man leaning out of his vehicle yelling, “You are going to die! You are going to die!” as Dunn’s toddler cries in the background.
The driver then continues, “I could kill you! I could kill you!”
“You know my windows were cracked. He was able to see that my child was in the car,” Dunn told the outlet. “He totally disregarded that. He didn’t care.”
Dunn also called both 911 and the Guilford Metro non-emergency line to report the incident and informed dispatchers that she had captured video of the incident, but said she was disappointed with the response.

“To know that they’re still out there and nothing has been done about it is absolutely frustrating and scary,” Dunn said.
xDeputy Director of Operations Christine Moore told FOX8 WGHP that the dispatcher did not follow protocols.
“Typically, … we enter what we call a ‘be on the lookout’ or a BOLO. And we did. However, we did not enter all of the appropriate information that we should have… She [the dispatcher] did enter the lookout. She didn’t enter all of the information that was pertinent, including that there was a video involved that the officer may want to see,” Moore said.
Meanwhile, the Greensboro Police Department said officers issued a be-on-the-lookout alert, or BOLO, after receiving reports of a dark blue sedan swerving through traffic and yelling at other motorists.
Investigators have since identified the driver involved, though no arrest has been made.
“The victim has been advised how to obtain a warrant on a misdemeanor charge from the Magistrate’s Office due to the incident occurring outside the presence of officers,” the department said in a statement shared on Facebook.
Dunn also told WRAL News she is currently in the process of obtaining a misdemeanor warrant against the driver.
