Karma Happens

After an investigation of a road rage incident, the California Highway Patrol pieced together what happened. The two men’s cars hit each other on Interstate 5 in Sacramento, and they pulled over to fight. Witnesses say Jose Rodriguez Carrasco, 37, chased after Jason Dykes, 39, with a baseball bat. Before officers could get there, Rodriguez-Carrasco had killed Dykes. But he won’t be arrested: before officers could get there, Rodriguez-Carrasco, who was apparently walking on the freeway, was hit by a car and killed. Dykes had his driver’s license suspended 10 years ago, and apparently couldn’t get it back because he kept being cited for driving with a suspended license, as well as other infractions such as speeding. Rodriguez Carrasco had applied for a driver’s license, but hadn’t completed the process. (RC/Sacramento Bee) ...Death: the maximum sentence for road rage.
