A University of Chicago graduate died from injuries sustained in a road rage incident a week ago.

Mandeep Bedi worked as a sales intern in the school's IT Services Solutions Center. His wife Elizabeth is completing her studies in anthropology. The two were en route to U of C last week when they became involved in a hit-and-run accident that started when Elizabeth Bedi tried to merge into traffic. Another driver in a silver car pulled up and started to curse at them. The two cars pulled over and an argument ensued. After that, the driver of the second car returned to her vehicle, put it in reverse and ran over the Bedi's. Elizabeth Bedi was injured while a witness said Mandeep Bedi was "completely run over."

The identity of the driver in the incident is unknown at this time.
