Father of 9 killed after fight stemming from Castro Valley road rage crash
The victim who died after a fight stemming from an alleged road rage crash in Castro Valley over the weekend was identified as a father of nine.
Elola's family told KTVU that the father of nine was attacked and killed Saturday night outside the Castro Valley BART station. The family had been headed out for ice cream after celebrating one of their son's 18th birthday.
His wife, Gabrielle Elola, said a driver cut them off, and rammed them from behind.
Elola's family said Elola got out of the car, where there was a fight.
When California Highway Patrol officers arrived, they found Elola wounded. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries, officials said.
Son Angel Elola believes his father may have suffered a head injury, though the coroner will determine the official cause of death.
