A Taco Bell closed for the night caused a Massachusetts man to become so angry with road rage that he crashed his car into an ATM building and was knocked unconscious. The man drove up to the drive thu at 1:30 a.m. on March 24, Thursday then honked the car horn for two minutes after nobody came to the window to serve him. Derrick LaForest then drove away at a high speed, lost control of the vehicle after hitting a curb, then smashed into the free-standing building.

This event happened in the town of Pittsfield and involved 33-year-old LaForest who had a late-night craving for Mexican fast food.

The Massachusetts man drove quickly through the drive-thru lane and sped across the Taco Bell parking lot. He then hit two curbs before hitting a building that once housed a TD Bank ATM.  

Taco Bell employees pulled out LaForest's unconscious body from his vehicle.  A police report states that he suffered major damage during the collision with the building, but his vehicle's airbag helped to reduce injuries, according to Eater.  

LaForest told local police he did not remember hitting the ATM building. He was released on $500 bail after pleading not guilty on the charges of reckless driving and vandalism, according to Yahoo.

This is not the first time someone has become irate while in a fast food restaurant's drive-thru. In January 2016 Burger King customers exited their car in the drive thru window then assaulted an employee because they were upset about the food preparation time.

In related news a new study by the University of Chicago shows that a brain parasite transmitted through contaminated water, under-cooked meat, or cat feces could boost the risk of aggressive behavior including road rage.

The study focused on a parasite called oxoplasmosis that is found in about 30 percent of all humans. It found that the tiny animal is linked to intermittent explosive disorder (IED) and violent behavior. IED causes verbal or physical outbursts that are much greater than the event that triggered them.

Researchers shared that an infection caused by the parasite might change a person's brain chemistry in a way that boosts the risk of aggressive behavior. 

Here are some causes of road rage:
