MIAMI (WSVN) - The victim of an alleged road rage incident in Miami involving a Mexican soap opera actor has died.
Sixty-three-year-old Juan Hernandez was taken off life support by his family on Thursday.
He had suffered a brain injury after soap opera star Pablo Daniel Lyle punched and knocked him down on Sunday.
Newly released surveillance footage captured the moment Hernandez got out of his car to confront Lyle after he allegedly cut him off.
Hernandez could be seen by the window of Lyle’s car, before Lyle stepped out of the car.
The two got into a verbal altercation before Lyle, according to witnesses, punched Hernandez and left him unconscious with a fractured skull and internal bleeding before fleeing the scene.
The 32-year-old actor was charged with felony battery and posted a $5,000 bond. He was allowed to travel to Mexico for work but has since been required to return to the U.S.
Lyle’s next court date is scheduled for Monday.
Asked if they will up charges against Lyle following Hernandez’s death, prosecutors said they have no comment.
