CHICAGO — Shocking dashcam footage has captured the horrifying moment a man ripped a woman from behind the wheel of a car and tossed her onto a high-speed Chicago interstate, leaving her sprawled face-down just inches from oncoming vehicles.
The disturbing incident unfolded around 9 p.m. Tuesday on I-55 South, where the white Jeep SUV slammed on its brakes in the middle lane.
In the clip, the male passenger jumps out, circles the vehicle, and yanks the female driver from her seat before violently throwing her onto the asphalt. Her shoes scatter across the pavement as the man climbs back in and speeds off, abandoning her in the path of rushing traffic.
Horrified drivers behind the scene immediately hit the brakes. Good Samaritans leaped from their cars, including a white minivan that pulled alongside, to block lanes and rush to the woman's aid as she lay motionless on the busy freeway.
The heart-stopping video, timestamped June 23 at 9:19 p.m., shows the chaos unfolding under highway signs pointing toward St. Louis, with other vehicles swerving and continuing past the shocking scene.Authorities have not yet identified the suspect or released details on the woman's condition. It's unclear what triggered the alleged attack, but the footage has sparked outrage online, with many calling the perpetrator a "monster" and questioning how such brutality could erupt in plain view of commuters.
