Denver man, Alberto Mota, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for a road rage incident that occurred in August 2020 on southbound I-25. Mota aggressively swerved into a group of motorcyclists, causing one rider to crash and suffer serious injuries. Dash cam footage captured the incident, showing Mota intentionally ramming into the motorcyclist. Mota pleaded guilty to vehicular assault, felony menacing, child abuse, and reckless endangerment. Deputy District Attorney Keegan Doheny pointed out that Mota showed no regard for the safety of others and intentionally caused the crash. Mota has a history of driving without a valid license and has been involved in similar offenses in the past. The court found Mota guilty based on the evidence provided by the dash cam footage. The victim, who survived the incident, suffered broken ribs, leg, and collarbone as a result of the crash. The prosecution emphasized the seriousness of Mota’s actions, stating that he endangered the lives of multiple individuals on the road due to his anger. With the video evidence available, Mota’s attempt to blame the motorcyclist for the crash was unsuccessful. The sentencing sends a strong message against road rage and reckless driving, highlighting the dangers and consequences of such behavior on the road.
