A typical Saturday night turned violent in Shinnston, after troopers said an apparent road rage incident turned into a fight, and eventually led authorities on a high speed chase.

Troopers said this all started on South Pike Street in Shinnston. 

Apparently, there was some kind of road rage incident, which led to several fights. During the fights, one man involved was apparently dragged nearly 30 feet by another car, but it doesn't stop there.

After that, the person who allegedly was involved with dragging the other man fled the scene, and led Harrison County deputies on a high speed chase. Deputies caught up with him off Route 50 near Wilsonburg.

Officials said one of the victims involved in the fight did go to the hospital for treatment, but the man who allegedly was dragged by the car refused treatment.

Troopers said the investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending.
