STUPID TAXI CAB

On my way home tonight, I was driving in the far left lane, and then suddenly had to slow way down when I came up to a small cluster of cars. There wasn't really any traffic in front of them (it was 12am for goodness sake), so it had to be something else. I noticed a car in the middle lane was getting tailgated pretty badly, and then I saw them signal to get over to the left lane, which made me more frustrated. With their left signal still on, it suddenly looked like they were going into the right lane instead... but then.. no.. they swerved into the right lane and then back into the middle lane, and then all of the sudden into the far left lane -- signal still on. I kept my distance as I realized that this car was on crack.

There were about 4 cars behind that car including myself, driving as cautiously as possible. We drove for like 4 miles at 50 mph watching the car, which was actually a Taxi (looked like a Dodge Neon taxi), drive erratically across all the lanes, jerking and swerving worse than any drunk driver I've ever seen. It almost looked like there was a struggle inside the car, like two people fighting over the steering wheel. They would brake real hard, swerve left, swerve right, and not really stay in any particular lane. I was like.. OH MY GOSH is someone going to do something? I didn't want to even try to pass the taxi just in case it would hit my car. It almost looked possessed. I drove my car parallel to some man and waved over at him and noticed he was on his cellphone and it looked like he might be reporting it, so I kinda nodded at him to acknowledge what he was doing. All of the sudden, still jerking around, the car took an exit, and to my relief, the man with the cellphone was able to follow it there... I couldn't get over fast enough so I missed it. I sped up, looking for the next exit which ended up being like 3 miles away. I figured the drama would be over by the time I could turn around and find them, but I wanted to try anyway. I exited, made a U-turn and came back to the exit where I saw the taxi last, and as I was making a U-turn under the bridge again (to go in the direction of where I thought the taxi was), I saw a cop fly by the opposite direction and thought -- DAMN!

I found my way around and tried to figure out where that cop went. After driving a little ways, I saw a cluster of 3 or 4 cop cars by some run-down looking apartment complex and saw the infamous taxi. I made a U-turn and pulled into the street, and took a quick peek at the situation and left. All I could see was like 4 cops surrounding this guy with dark skin, and wore a white oxford shirt half untucked and a tie that looked loosened, and he was gesturing with his arms as if to explain what happened.

I never got to find out exactly what happened. I'm normally not a rubbernecker, but for some reason, this situation interested me since I had never seen anything like that before.
