Road Rage in Raleigh

[Xtatic]

I just want to explain this up front here. I found this first video in a compilation of several videos. Here’s the thing though, the video (as you will see) ends in a very strange place and without showing the conclusion. So I did some snooping around and found one of the bikers involved and where he had posted an explanation of how everything went down, including how the incident ended (vid 3).

Two motorcyclists injured in Raleigh road rage incident
Feb. 10, 2018

RALEIGH, N.C. — A 35-year-old Raleigh man was arrested in a road rage assault incident with two motorcyclists on Tryon Road in Raleigh Saturday.
Brandon Howard Stadiem was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, felony hit and run, misdemeanor hit and run, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Police said Stadiem struck two victims, who were driving motorcycles, with his car. One victim suffered several sprains and the other suffered a concussion. Both have been released from the hospital.

When a group of riders saw the vehicle hit their friend Saturday morning, they couldn't believe their eyes. They followed Stadiem's vehicle into an apartment complex in order to get his license plate number for police when he rolled over another rider.
Experienced motorcyclists who watched video of the incident said it looked as though the motorcycle drivers were doing everything right and Stadiem was frustrated and intentionally hit them.


This gentleman weaponized his vehicle and turned it against people that were not an equal threat to him. There is no amount of training to prepare you for something like that," said Rodney Long with Evolution Motorcycle Club.

It's not uncommon for motorcyclists to mount cameras to their helmets in order to record their trips as keepsakes but in this case, the videos have become evidence.
"I see the vehicle run over the bike and it's really hard to watch. As the bike is being run over, you see the car go up and over the biker. It's very scary," said Kimberly Atkinson, president of Ebony Angels. "It looks intentional, to me."

“What I see is constant speed from the bikes. They were in order, no one from what I can see was riding out of line. Looked like a frustrated driver trying to get around them," Long said.

The motorcycle riders said they take road safety seriously, but there is no defense against road rage.

"They don't want to share the road with people who are on two wheels," Atkinson said. "As many times as I have seen things like this, it's always shocking to see it again."

Stadiem was released from the Wake County Detention Center on a $60,000 bond. His first court appearance is Monday at 9 a.m.

WRAL News attempted to contact Stadiem at his apartment, but were unable to locate him. His damaged car remained in the parking lot Sunday afternoon.


911 call in road rage crash: 'They nailed him hard'
Feb. 12, 2018

RALEIGH, N.C. — A road rage incident was caught on camera late Friday when two motorcyclists who were riding along Tryon Road were struck by the same car.
Video caught by a third motorcyclist's helmet camera shows a car hit one of the riders on eastbound Tryon Road near Lake Wheeler Road. The biker was thrown from his motorcycle.

"This car came flying up like a nut, and then he ran into the rear of the bike," one of the motorcyclists told a 911 dispatcher. "We were riding in a group of about six, and some people got it on camera."

In a separate 911 call, a second motorcyclist told a dispatcher that the group had shifted into the left lane as a vehicle turned onto Tryon Road from a side street when the car, described as a gray or brown Kia, came speeding from behind.

"I guess [the Kia] got a little too close to the one in front of him, and another biker got mad and gestured, 'Hey, what are you doing?'" the second caller said. "He literally ran the guy over."

Some of the motorcyclists stopped to help the injured biker, while others sped off down the road to get the car's license plate number.

"I'm with him now. He's sitting up, he's fine, but they, they nailed him hard," the first caller told the dispatcher about the injured biker.

The first 911 caller said the car made a U-turn and was headed west on Tryon Road toward Cary.

The helmet-cam video shows a motorcyclist yelling out the Kia's license number when the car runs over him in an apartment complex parking lot.

Remarkably, both men were treated for only minor injuries.

Brandon Howard Stadiem, 35, of 3201 Resolution Lane in Raleigh, was charged with felony hit-and-run causing injury, felony assault with a deadly weapon causing serious injury, misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run failure to stop for property damage. He was released after posting a $60,000 bond.

Stadiem declined to comment as he left court Monday after a brief hearing in which he asked for a court-appointed lawyer.

Some people who have viewed the helmet-cam video question the motorcycle riders going in between cars on Tryon Road, as well as one kicking Stadiem's car in the apartment complex. Police have not charged anyone else in the incident.

I can not find any further information or news stories on this incident. Perhaps Kelly, Simone, or someone else will have better luck. The biker in vid 3 says that Stadiem paid a restitution and got fines and community service, but that just sounds too good to be true for someone with a prior hit and run on their record. Anyway, if I find something more, I’ll post an update.

I agree 150%.
That was nothing short of attempted murder of 2 people. Had Stadiem used a gun instead of his car, he’d be in jail for sure. So what’s the difference?

Bullcrap..! Bikes following the rules of the road, hah, don't make me laugh.... They do whatever they want, then you see some of them chase the man down as if they are the police. The driver of the car was scared of being beat, and that's what whould have happened if they got him out of the car... The second man hit was kicking the man's car! Wtf.. Then he tells the third to "get him" like that worked out for the first two....

Scary ass angry driver! The driver should have pulled over after the first, “Accident” If that’s what it was. Now he’s really in trouble.
