Today's Footnote

As I wrote before here, I'm fascinated by tiny historical footnotes. Today I'm watching that Def Leppard flick on VH1 for the 40,229th time and I Wiki'ed them and came upon this section about Rick Allen's wreck that cost him his arm:

"The driver had been egging Rick on and not allowing him to pass. In his rage to pass this driver, he did not see the turn up ahead and lost control of his car, which sailed over a stone wall, and into a field, causing him to be thrown from the car resulting in the severing of his left arm due to the seatbelt not being properly fastened in the first place. "

Who was that driver? Anyone ever find the guy? He's going in my Footnotes coffee table book.
