What began as a typical commute on U.S. 36 near Church Ranch Blvd quickly spiraled into a fatal confrontation.
A 30-year-old truck driver, whose identity has not yet been released, became tangled in a road rage incident involving three vehicles in the lanes heading west.
The situation escalated dramatically when the truck driver decided to exit his vehicle and confront another driver.
Regrettably, the man was struck by a westbound SUV, sustaining injuries that ultimately turned out to be fatal.
Emergency responders rushed the injured man to a nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival despite their efforts.
