Axe seized after man dies in Sydney 'car crash fight'An axe has been seized after two men, one aged in his 70s, had a fatal brawl following a car crash in Cabramatta West last night What’s going on these past days? So many bad things happening ! 😞 You can accidentally cut in front of someone and this mad man could be the driver you just cut in on. Makes you think about just staying in the left lane. But even that might piss someone off. There are areas of South West Sydney, where people are scared of being in an accident, as the Arab community has a reputation for violence in such incidents. This is exacerbated by the poor police presence that avoids the issue of family-organised crime etc.
