FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Two soldiers going to surprise their families before deployment to Iraq were killed when they got into an argument and were hit by a car.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Joshua Thomas Baker and Jonathan Wendell Peterson, both on their way home to southwest Florida, were killed on a dark road in Fort Pierce on Saturday evening.

The agency says the men parked their car on a grass median, stepped out and got into an altercation in the roadway. What the argument was about isn’t known.

An approaching car wasn’t able to swerve in time and struck the men.

Baker was killed instantly. Peterson was taken to a hospital, where he died.
