In a bizarre incident that has left many scratching their heads, a highway in Florida was closed down so two men could have an epic fight. The altercation occurred on the morning of April 15th, when authorities were called to the scene after reports of two men fighting on the side of the highway. When officers arrived, they found two men - both from Florida - engaged in a physical altercation. The officers immediately attempted to break up the fight, but it quickly became clear that neither man was willing to back down. After several minutes of trying to separate them, one officer suggested closing down the highway and allowing them to settle their differences without interference. The suggestion was accepted by all parties involved and within minutes, police had shut down both lanes of traffic while they cleared out bystanders and prepared for what would be an epic battle between two grown men. As cars drove by honking their horns in support, both men squared off and began exchanging blows. After nearly ten minutes of intense fighting, one man emerged victorious and walked away with his head held high as police opened up the highway again for traffic. No arrests were made at the scene as both combatants agreed not to press charges against each other; however police are still investigating why these two men felt it necessary to take their dispute onto a public roadway in such an extreme manner. It is unknown if either man suffered any serious injuries during this strange incident or what sparked this unusual altercation in the first place; however it serves as yet another reminder that you never know what you might find on a Florida highway!
