An apparent road rage incident following a Kings game at Arco Arena on Wednesday night has left a San Ramon man near death, police said.
Around 10 p.m., a dispute broke out over reckless driving in the arena parking lot. Following the altercation, the injured man, whom police identified as Mark Leidheisl, 39, drove his Mercedes out of the parking lot and onto Truxel Road, police said. Two men in an Infiniti SUV followed.
They all stopped on Prosper Drive, exited their cars and began to fight, police said. Leidheisl, an executive at Wells Fargo Bank, then sustained a blow to the head.
Leidheisl was taken to UC Davis Medical Center but is not expected to survive, . . .

Bad SUV! No High-Test for you!
I pray for his recovery.
Man..first the Kings suck, then this. I hope this guy makes it..thats the least he deserves after going to a crappy game.
Getting in fights on the side of the road can often go really bad.....
What morons. It's a friggin' game. If their egos are so dependent on the success or lack thereof of a basketball team....sheesh.
Yep, I went to one Kings game the 5 years I lived there. A friend had a free ticket, so I went and paid $8 for a beer. The NBA is nothing but a show these days. The Olympics revealed that for all the world to see.
I don't even pay attention to the NBA until late May. I sure don't watch until Game 5.
Would have been a lot smarter to walk away from trouble. All of them are old enough to know better. Wonder if alcohol played a roll.
