An alleged road rage incident ended in the arrest of Kodi M. Meyer of Coal City by Kankakee police Monday.

In a news release Wednesday, Kankakee police said officers were dispatched about 8 a.m. Monday to North Wall Street near Riverside Medical Center after a call about a person who threw an object at a vehicle before fleeing the scene.

The suspect vehicle, a GMC Yukon driven by the 32-year-old Meyer, crashed into a Honda Pilot before leaving the road and hitting a tree and a light pole at South May Avenue and West Station Street, police said.

The driver and lone occupant of the Pilot suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Meyer was uncooperative with officers and was yelling at another person, who was the victim of the road rage incident, police said.

The victim told officers that Meyer had allegedly tailgated him, aggressively passed him, exited his vehicle while shouting, and threw a pop can containing liquid at him and his passenger before fleeing.

The victim followed Meyer to obtain vehicle information.

Officers took Meyer to a Kankakee hospital to assess whether he was driving under the influence due to his erratic behavior and his admission to using cannabis before driving.

According to Kankakee County Circuit Court records, Meyer was charged by the Kankakee County State’s Attorney’s Office with driving under the influence and reckless driving. He also was ticketed for four traffic violations.

Due to the SAFE-T Act, the charged offense is not subject to detention. Meyer was released by a Kankakee County judge.
