LA VERNE >> Road rage on the 210 Freeway led to a fistfight and a three-car collision in La Verne on Tuesday, authorities said.
Police received a call of a fistfight at Foothill Boulevard and Wheeler Avenue around 10:20 a.m., police Lt. Thomas Frayeh said.
A couple minutes later, police received a call of a three-car collision at Foothill and White Avenue.
“It appears there may have been a road rage incident on the freeway” that triggered the events, Frayeh said.
The two drivers allegedly exited the freeway at Foothill and got into the fistfight, he said. The second party struck the first driver, then got in the car and drove away, Frayeh said.
The first driver got in his car and then drove through several red lights on Foothill trying to catch up to the second party, before crashing into the back of a car stopped at a red light at Foothill and White. That car then struck another vehicle, resulting in the three-car crash, Frayeh said.
The first driver had injuries consistent with the fistfight and the other two victims complained of pain.
No further information was available.
