Man involved in viral road rage incident dies hours later in crash

GONZALES, La. — A Louisiana man who admitted to getting into a fistfight with another driver Friday was killed in a car crash hours later, police said.

Daniel Walker, 31, was killed after he lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree Friday evening, Louisiana State Police said in a news release posted on its Facebook page. Walker was unrestrained and was ejected from the vehicle.

Just hours earlier, Walker was reportedly involved in a road rage incident that resulted in a fistfight with another driver in the middle of a busy road, according to WBRZ. An eyewitness recorded the fight, which was broken up by police. The officer issued both drivers a court summons at the scene and sent them on their way.

YIKES! We know Baton Rouge traffic is bad, but is it bad enough to fight fellow drivers over? This video was posted today.  Here's the story: http://www.wbrz.com/news/watch-two-men-brawl-in-traffic-video-posted-on-facebook-friday
