Kiwi Truck Driver Wrestling 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
There is a stretch of road overlooking a valley just outside the bungee jump capital of the world, Queenstown, in the South Island of New Zealand.
47 year old truck driver Steve Wilburson was often quoted as saying, "If someone comes along this road facing me, I'll have to knock them off, what choice do I have?"
One day the inevitable happened. Both drivers stopped truck face to truck face, dismounted from their trucks and an argument began as to who was to move their truck back out of the way. This eventually led to fisticuffs. The other driver got Steve into a half-nelson and they both rolled down the side of the valley together. Steve and the other driver, Charlie Macintyre suffered several cracks in the head, and both were found dead.It appears that Steve was actually bitten on the right arm by Charlie.
The farmer described them as, "2 sex-crazed truckie wrestlers who should go back to school"Submitted on 05/04/2002
