Road-rage victim dies in Melb hospital

A victim of a road-rage attack on a Melbourne freeway has died.

The 37-year-old Taylors Lakes man died in hospital late on Monday following the July 5 fight on the Western Ring Road that also hospitalised his friend.

After a two-car collision led to the fight on the Ballarat off ramp, two men allegedly stole the victims' vehicle.

Sunshine West man Christopher Orfanidis, 31, was later charged with offences including recklessly causing serious injury. But the charges will be reviewed following the man's death.

The second man, 39-year-old Bill Panagiotidis of Maribynong, was charged with being an accessory and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
