In San Antonio Texas, a speeding pickup rear-ended a woman’s sedan and sheriff’s officials say, the driver said it was Jesus’ will, because the other motorist was not “driving like a Christian.”


The bizarre incident that shut down southbound U.S. 281 above the Medina River happened about 7:25 a.m.
 
“He just said God said she wasn’t driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road,” said Lt. Kyle Coleman of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. The driver of the pickup was identified in a Sheriff’s Office news release as Michael E. Schwab, 52, of Blooming Grove.

Schwab told first responders at the scene that “the other vehicle was not driving like a Christian and it was Jesus’ will for him to punish the car,” according to the release.
Investigators determined the female driver “had done nothing wrong,” according to the release. “You don’t actually need to be doing anything wrong to violate whatever some wingnut religious fanatic believes in. The poor lady’s car might have been the wrong colour”.
