AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A man and woman are facing felony charges in two separate road rage incidents in Austin. The first happened at the H-E-B at Mueller in East Austin. Police say Shimeka Johnson yelled at an elderly woman and then keyed a witness' car.

Another recent case happened on Interstate 35 near Oltorf Street in South Austin. Police say a man had to slow down to get on the interstate but that the driver behind him refused to follow and rear-ended the car. Then, there was allegedly a yelling match where one man threatened another.

KXAN News checked and found that road rage continues to be a problem in Texas. In 2013, Texas Department of Transportation reports there were nearly 1,100 cases across the state.
