The Guardia Civil Traffic department are investigating a terrifying incident in which a motorist, identified by the UK media as being British, was chased and had his vehicle rammed by a fellow motorist following an incident close to the Palma Airport motorway.

The two motorists had been involved in an incident near to the Son Oms industrial estate. The other driver, believed to be Spanish, then chased his "British" counterpart, overtaking him and then trying to block his path. The Briton stopped his vehicle on the hard shoulder and put it into reverse in an effort to escape. But the other driver followed suit, crashing into him at speed with both vehicles being seriously damaged.

The other driver can be seen shouting and raising his middle finger at the Briton. The Guardia Civil Traffic department are investigating the incident after it was reported by the Briton.

So far they have identified the other driver, who is expected to be charged with reckless driving while the investigation continues. The whole incident was caught on CCTV cameras with footage now being analysed are now being analysed by police.

The "British" driver and his wife, who was also in the vehicle, were said to be in a state of shock after the incident and couldn't believe what had happened. One British newspaper claimed that the incident was related to the anti-tourism wave which is sweeping through Spain at the moment.
