Couple Argues In Middle Of Road, Hit And Killed

Location: Belen, N.M. Source: KRQE News 13

A Belen couple was killed this weekend after arguing in the middle of a dark highway. Witnesses told Valencia County Sheriff's Deputies that Leonard Trujillo and Tammy Vaught pulled their car over on Highway 116 south of Belen and began to argue and wrestle in the middle of the road.

Investigators believe the couple was then truck by a truck whose driver could not see the darkly-dressed couple.

Trujillo and Vaught were pronounced dead at the scene.

Agree with Bert -- we have seen a few cases of making whoopee, a few cases of just sleeping in the road, but this is the first I've heard of fighting in the road... so common but slightly different.

We've got several other "doing it in the road" stories- let the viewers decide.

With a better writeup and verification, this could be a contender.

Definitely Toss: Bystanders Hurt
I've taken a bit of poetic licence here and called the truck driver a "bystander". He has to live with it for the rest of his life.

Ive heard of folks makin love in the road getting hit and killed, but Arguing? with a better writeup, this story has potential.
