The son then jumped out of his car and ran away, with the father also abandoning the now-wrecked Mercedes as he pursued his son on foot. The two damaged cars were left blocking traffic in the middle of a busy intersection. The reason for the father’s anger at his son that culminated in the incident has not been revealed.
