Wild scenes as brutal road rage incident spills in front of oncoming traffic on a busy freeway
Dramatic footage has emerged two drivers trading blows on the side of a busy freeway which spilled into the path of fast moving traffic.
The incident took place in Macdonald Park along Adelaide 's Northern Expressway, which has a 110km/h speed limit.
The footage showed two men arguing and throwing punches in the left lane as cars, dump trucks and semi-trailers fly past.
One man was shoved to the ground, causing a passing vehicle to suddenly swerve to avoid hitting him.
A woman stepped in to separate the pair and ushered the men back to their parked vehicles.
A third man dressed in high-visibility gear parked further along the road was seen walking toward the altercation but turned around once it appeared to have ended.
What sparked the brawl is currently unknown.
The dashcam has divided viewers as it racked up more than 200,000 views online.
'These idiots are asking to be hit fighting on a 110km/h freeway!' the video was captioned.
While many viewers condemned the behavior of the feuding men, dashcam driver also came under fire.
'The guy stopping his car in a live lane of traffic on a 110km/h freeway isn't too smart either,' one wrote.
Another added: 'Almost as bad as you coming to a stop in the left lane.'
A third wrote: 'I would not have stopped. Someone will run up your rear.
However, others viewers defended the driver and argued that slowing down may have prevented a tragedy.
'He created a safe zone and he obviously knew what he was doing, therefore doesn't need your belated advice,' one wrote.
Another added: 'People are more likely to see the car and move than they are a person.
A third wrote: 'Guy could get pushed onto the road, gets hit by a car doing 110 and dies, or the car stops to protect him, forcing other vehicles to go around.
South Australian Police currently aren't investigating.
'Police have not received any reports in relation to this incident yet but encourage those involved to come forward and contact police,' a spokesperson said.
'Anyone who witnesses this type of behaviour is asked to call the Police Assistance Line.'
