A violent brawl erupted on Long Island, attributed to road rage following a crash on Sunrise Highway. The incident occurred yesterday afternoon, and police say the physical altercation ensued after the collision. The brawl involved two groups, approximately five individuals on each side, wielding baseball bats and two-by-fours. Despite the chaos, no serious injuries were reported.
The crash, captured by a car wash express in Lindenhurst, resulted in a vehicle flipping upside down. The fight, lasting several minutes, caused the closure of a section of busy Sunrise Highway. Emergency services, including ambulances and fire trucks, responded to the scene, leading to traffic congestion.
Witnesses described the scene as astonishing, with a group of men and teens engaged in the brawl. Omar, a worker who witnessed the crash, noted that the collision involved a car crashing into the back of a pickup truck, causing it to turn on its side. The occupants of the vehicles then exited and started fighting in the street.
Although no serious injuries were reported, some individuals were taken to the hospital. Three individuals, including two men and a teenager, were arrested and charged with second-degree assault. The exact cause of the brawl is still unknown.
