Southern California police are searching for a motorcyclist who was involved in an alleged road rage incident that injured one person.
The incident happened on State Road 14 near Newhall Avenue in Santa Clarita, California, about 30 miles north of Los Angeles, and prompted a 30-minute closure in the area.

Chris Traber, the 47-year-old man who shot the video, says the car was in the carpool lane before swerving to the right to enter the fast lane, almost hitting the motorcyclist. After that the motorcyclist appears to try to kick the sedan on the right.
In response, the sedan veers to the left and briefly collides with the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist somehow stays upright, while the car loses control and hits the concrete highway divider wall with a fiery impact.
