Car crash on I-5 leads to a fight and deaths of both drivers

Two people are dead following a vehicle collision Sunday morning on Interstate 5 that led to a fight between the two drivers.

The vehicles stuck each other in the northbound lanes of I-5 in Sacramento, Calif., around 3:44 a.m., according to Mike Zerfas, California Highway Patrol public information officer.

The two drivers, both male, then drove farther north on the freeway, stopped near Del Paso Road, exited their vehicles and began to fight, Zerfas said. One of the drivers was killed in the fight after suffering what appears to be blunt force trauma. Then the second driver, walking north on the freeway, was struck and killed by a passing motorist.

“It escalated from a traffic collision to a fight to a homicide,” said Zerfas.

This sums up the situation perfectly.

The guy who won the fight, walking away in victory, gets hit & killed. Definitely karma.

That is, I believe it but it's hard to believe that these two lives ended for such a ridiculous reason.

Pointless is perhaps a better word
