Drivers on New York's Long Island exchanged fisticuffs instead of insurance information following a rollover accident on a heavily-trafficked highway.

At least six people were involved in a bitter brawl on Tuesday on the Sunrise Highway.

The fight, which broke out at 12:30 p.m. in the town of North Lindenhurst, was captured on camera.

At certain points in the footage, it appears the men start clubbing each other with poles.

News12 Long Island reports that three of the involved individuals ended up in handcuffs — two adults and a minor.

Two people were treated at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip for minor injuries.

Prior to the fracas, two vehicles were involved in an accident that left one of them sideways.

The highway was shut down for hours as the fight unfolded, and then as the accident was cleared.

None of the people involved has a record, and police could not say what actually triggered the throw down.
