Road Wars Key Art

The latest installment of Road Wars offers a grimly compelling collection of vehicular mishaps and roadside altercations. From reckless tow truck escapades to the icy chaos of a multi-car pileup, “Cellphone Sideswipe” provides a sobering look at the dangers that lurk on the open road.

In California, a vehicle owner’s attempt to reclaim his towed car goes horribly wrong when he decides to hitch a ride on the back of the tow truck. Meanwhile, in England, a seemingly minor disagreement between a driver and a cyclist escalates into a full-blown physical confrontation. And in Los Angeles, a biker’s accusation of distracted driving leads to a dangerous collision. Adding to the carnage, a snowstorm in Michigan causes a massive 120-car pileup, a chilling testament to the unpredictable nature of winter driving.
