The crash took place 160 kilometres northwest of the city of Philadelphia as trucks and cars were caught off guard by the treacherous conditions, USA Today reports.

An irate woman was caught on camera damaging an SUV she was parked next to in a parking lot. The woman's black Mercedes-Benz GLA is parked too close to the black Chevrolet SUV and she's unable to open the driver's door, Briefly News reports.

When the driver of the Chevrolet decides to not move the woman climbs partially out of her sunroof and the incident gets out of control.

It is a severe case of road rage and is totally unjustifiable in this case as the woman has enough space in her parking bay to move her car and park correctly.
