Collision prompts sword - machete fight

 Sunnyside, Washington - A hit-and-run collision followed by a brief sword fight led police to arrest a 25-year-old man for assault. The Sunnyside man spotted a 27-year-old rival and intentionally rammed his 1981 Ford F-150 pickup into the man’s vehicle as he backed out of his driveway. The alleged assailant brandished a sword, swinging it at his enemy, who had climbed out of his own vehicle.

Meanwhile, the victim’s mother, still in the vehicle, dialed 9-1-1 from her cellular phone.  More…
