Look, I get it. We’ve all been there. Stuck behind someone going 10 under the speed limit in the fast lane, that incessant blinker left on for miles, the sudden, inexplicable brake check in light traffic. It’s enough to make a saint consider trading their halo for a set of brass knuckles. A&E’s Road Wars understands this primal frustration. Tuesday’s second episode “Interstate Inferno,” airing at 9:30 PM ET, returns with more vehicular mayhem, capturing the spectrum of highway havoc from irritating to outright terrifying.
This episode will deliver another dose of real-life drama, culled from dashcams and bystander footage across the country. From the seemingly mundane annoyance of a driver laying on their horn in California, the episode escalates to a road rage shooting in New Mexico and a full-blown vehicular explosion in Ohio. The geographic diversity of incidents—from California to Oregon—underscores that no stretch of American asphalt is immune to the rising tide of road-related incidents.
Road Wars, now in its fourth season, continues to focus its lens on the increasing frequency and intensity of these confrontations. While the show occasionally captures those relatable moments of minor traffic frustration, “Interstate Inferno” seems poised to lean into the more dramatic end of the spectrum. Expect high-speed chases, tense standoffs with law enforcement, and the inevitable aftermath of poor decisions made behind the wheel.
Tune in to Road Wars on A&E, Tuesday, November 12 at 9:30 PM ET.
