    Police are seeking the public's assistance in locating a semitrailer driver connected to a road-rage and hit-and-run crash that injured a fellow truck driver.

    The suspect reportedly made aggressive gestures at the victim before side-swiping him, causing the victim's vehicle to overturn into the ditch on northbound I-69 in Convis Township at the 42-mile marker, according to a Michigan State Police press release.

    The victim, a 39-year-old Otsego man, suffered minor injuries from the crash and was treated and released from Oaklawn Hospital in Marshall. The man's dashcam footage of the incident was undamaged.

    Video of the incident -- located above this article -- shows the white vehicle veer into the right lane before the victim's truck lost control.

    The suspect's vehicle is described as a white, newer model, possible Freightliner with unknown plates, and tinted windows on the passenger's side and sleeper berth. Anyone with information or witnesses regarding this incident are asked to call the MSP Marshall Post at 269-558-0500.

    The suspect's semitrailer should show damage to the passenger side with red paint from the victim's vehicle.

    Well it looks the company name on the door is with blue letters.
    Can't they take this video to a special video enhance lab, so they can see the name of the company?

    Would be nice if I didn't have to watch 2 adverts in order to watch 10 seconds of dashcam video. But it is an older prostar. All the newer models have the fuel tank filler opening under the sleeper now instead of just behind the doors.

    Get a better dashcam with 1080p or he'll 4k recording.

    But the camera looks like it came from that lane departure system
