A road rage incident turned deadly Saturday after a father and his two children were side-swiped in their sedan by a passing motorcycle along the 210 Freeway in Highland, leading the driver to follow the biker to a nearby bar where they shot each other to death, according to authorities.

Corona resident Jonathan McConnell, 38, was riding his motorcycle on the freeway when he attempted to split lanes and struck the car of 37-year-old Aaron Harris, a resident of Highland, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in a July 27 press release.
