Road rage revenge: Woman films aggressive pickup truck driver as he tailgates her and cuts her off... before he loses control and crashes
Tracy Sloan was in Tampa on Monday when an aggressive driver stayed close behind her vehicle - so she grabbed her cellphone to record
He drove past and flipped her off before cutting in front of her
But he lost control, veered off the road and hit a pole - as Sloan laughed
The driver, Jeffrey White, fled the scene but Sloan turned the video over to authorities who were able to identify and arrest him on Wednesday
A woman witnessed instant karma after a pickup truck driver aggressively tailgated her, flipped her off and then sped in front of her - before losing control and smashing into a pole.
And even better for the woman, Tracy Lynn Sloan, she caught the whole thing on camera - which allowed police to swiftly arrest the driver, 33-year-old Jeffrey Travis White.
Sloan shared the video on YouTube and explained that she was driving along US 41 in Tampa, Florida on Monday morning when the 2008 Ford pickup truck neared her.
'This pathetic excuse for a human being tailgated me for about three minutes,' she wrote. 'After about a minute, and me shaking my head, I pulled out my phone and started recording.
'I couldn't move over because there were trucks in the right lane, and I sure as heck wasn't going to speed on a rainy day with the roads being as slick as they were.'
After another minute, he passed her and flashed her his middle finger before eventually speeding up and cutting left in front of her.
But as he increased his speed, he lost control of the vehicle and crossed into the lane of oncoming traffic.
Luckily, he did not hit any other vehicles, but he careened into grass and a light pole with a massive 'smash' heard on the footage.
'That's what you get!' Sloan shouts as she drives past the wreck, laughing. 'All on video buddy!'
She added beneath the video: 'I've recorded circumstances like this before, catching idiots doing stupid things, but never ever had this happen.'
White initially left the scene but when Sloan handed over video to authorities, they were able to identify him with the footage and witness accounts to catch up with him.
'This moron could have easily killed somebody with his moronic behavior, and my laughing at the end would have been replaced with tears,' she wrote.
'Needless to say though, I've never seen Karma come back so fast.'
White was arrested at his home on Wednesday and faces charges of leaving the scene of a traffic crash, careless driving and failing to wear his seat belt, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
Records show White has an arrest record that includes old charges of battery and marijuana possession, the Times reported. He was arrested in 2002 and charged with disorderly conduct.
By Friday morning, Sloan's video had more than three million hits on YouTube. The sheriff's office said she will not be charged.

She did get clear shots of the poor chap though.
That was my 1st thought and then watching the video, she should get ticketed for driving in the left lane.. Left lane is for passing, the guy had to move to the right to pass herIf you don't fight for what you deserve, you deserve what you get.
