Two married men crashed their luxury cars in the middle of a busy intersection after the pair got involved in a fight over a shared mistress, according to Wenzhou Evening News.

The two men, Lin and Shu, both unknowingly shared the same lover, named Liu, until July 4 when they staged their own demolition derby in the early hours of the morning.

According to the Wenzhou Evening News, the “bumper car” war happened in Rui’an, a county within the city of Wenzhou in China’s Zhejiang province after a friend of Liu’s apparently gave a tip-off to Lin, the Mercedes Benz owner.
