A brand-new Mercedes-AMG hit eight other vehicles and injured two people on a road in Bangkok, after its driver said he was angry over a romantic breakup.

According to media reports, the road-rage incident happened on Srivara Road in Wang Thong Lang district at 3pm on Monday. Eyewitnesses said the red-plate Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 loudly hit other vehicles, one after another, on the road.

The Mercedes first hit an SUV and kept pushing it forward.

After forcing the SUV out of the way, the car drove on to hit many other cars.

Police eventually managed to stop the driver of the 5.2-million-baht car. He was identified only as Preechachan, 42. He reportedly told police that he could not control himself after his girlfriend decided to end their relationship.

Police found no alcohol in his system.
