Kentucky motorist faces warrant for road rage and false reporting

A Kentucky motorist is facing an arrest warrant after authorities determined he intentionally caused a vehicle collision through road rage. Matthew Jones, 44, reportedly attempted to frame a truck driver for a crash on Interstate 69 in Graves County by claiming a semi-truck had rammed his vehicle.

Following a review of the truck’s dash cam footage, deputies concluded that Jones had actually performed a brake-checking maneuver to cause the accident. Jones faces multiple charges, including reckless driving, wanton endangerment, and falsely reporting an incident to law enforcement. He has not yet turned himself in.
