RICHARDSON, Texas -- Two people died in North Texas in a highway argument that ended when a man pulled a woman from their car, pushing her off an overpass into oncoming rush-hour traffic.
The man later jumped about 80 feet to his death.
Witnesses told police the 30-year-old man and 21-year-old woman were arguing in their 2000 Mercedes on the shoulder of the President George Bush Turnpike just north of Dallas.
Sergeant Kevin Perlich -- a spokesman for the Richardson Police Department -- said the man pushed the woman off the overpass while she struggled with him.
Perlich said the woman landed on the hood of a car traveling on U.S. Highway 75, which carried her a short distance before she fell off and was hit by another car.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Perlich said the man did not die immediately after his jump. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.
The relationship between the two was not immediately known.
