BURLEY, Idaho – A Utah man authorities said caused an Oregon couple’s vehicle to roll three times in southern Idaho in a road-rage incident and then tried to get at the injured couple in the vehicle has been taken into custody.

The Times-News reported in a story Saturday that Marco Antonio Garcia-Garcia, 27, of Salt Lake City is being held in the Cassia County Jail on $500,000 bond.

He is charged with two counts of aggravated battery.

Police said Garcia-Garcia rammed his Toyota Camry into Kenneth and Judith Wallace’s Toyota Highlander on Interstate 84 at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday.

Court documents say the Oregon couple were taken to a hospital to be treated for cuts, bruises and concussions.

Garcia-Garcia is scheduled to appear in court on May 4.
