San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.comRoad confrontation ends in fiery crash

FALL RIVER, Mass. - A wild road rage incident in Massachusetts ended with a truck on fire on a highway and the driver lucky to be alive.

Luis Cotto says he confronted a car full of young men who beat him. He says he scrambled back to his truck and took off, but that the same group of men pulled in front of him on the road and started shooting at him.

"And I went underneath the dashboard, tried to protect myself, when the truck exploded, it sent me onto the sides," said Cotto.

After he crashed, Cotto's truck burst into flames, but he managed to jump out the window.
