A 37-year-old Manitowoc man was flipping off another driver on Monday when he rear-ended a car in the Town of Sheboygan Falls, suffering minor injuries and landing in the hospital, according to a Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department accident report.

Brian S. Matzen was westbound on state Highway 23 at Willow Road about 4:15 p.m. when he hit the car ahead of him, which was slowing to turn north onto Willow, the report said. Matzen said a vehicle east of the crash site on Highway 23 cut him off, leading to the obscene gesture.

“He came over into my lane and I tried to avoid hitting him, and I got up next to him and gave him a Merry Christmas signal and hit the other car,” Matzen said in a telephone interview this morning. “He would have seen me if he would have been off his (expletive) cell phone and never would have come over into my lane.”

Matzen was taken by Plymouth Ambulance to Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center with minor injuries, the report said. He was cited for inattentive driving.

Jeanna L. Feldmann, 23, of Plymouth, was driving the car that was rear-ended.

1. happened to me once

well... not to me, but....

Years ago, I was driving on Storrow Drive in the right lane, doing nothing to nobody. Some guy, driving way too close to the car in front of him, pulled along side me and started yelling at me, "you f***ing liberal, move to Canada...." (I guess he didn't like my bumper stickers) and managed not to see that someone had cut off the car in front of him. He rear-ended that poor person.

And there are better forms of rear-ending...
