A Washington driver showed how bad road rage can get when they were caught on a dashcam shooting fireworks at another vehicle.

On Saturday, the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office shared a Facebook post with a dashcam video of a driver shooting what police said were "Roman candle-style fireworks" at a woman in a nearby car.

The video shows the woman driving down a road when the driver of a Dodge truck begins following her, eventually passing by and shooting fireworks toward her car.

The woman attempted to get away, but the Dodge continued pursuing her. She also reportedly saw someone in the truck's passenger seat hurling fireworks out of the window.

The driver of the Dodge truck continued on its way as the woman pulled into a nearby parking lot. Authorities on Facebook requested information about the incident.

Roman candle fireworks are tubes containing five to 10 balls that explode once ignited. According to Black Cat Fireworks, Roman candle fireworks are banned for possession and use in several states, including New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, and California.

In general, handling fireworks can be very dangerous. When the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series last year, a man lost several fingers after lighting a firework while celebrating the huge win.
