Karma is a b*tch, as they say. Kevin Field reportedly died in a car crash after stabbing his wife to death in their Indianapolis home Sunday. According to the Indianapolis Star, after he stabbed his wife, Melissa Field, he fled the scene, and police, who were on the way to the home, were alerted of that a car had crashed into a tree a few blocks away. The stabbing, which police believe occurred before their three children, resulted after the couple got into an argument.

The stabbing at the Field residence in the 4700 block of South Rural Street was reported to police at 5:25 a.m. Sunday. Police said Kevin Field apparently stabbed his wife in an argument, leaving her to die.

He then got into a 1992 Lincoln and drove away. At the intersection of Carson Avenue and Lindbergh Drive, police found the Lincoln had smashed into a tree, apparently at high speed, on roads that were slippery from the morning's snow. Investigators said the Fields' neighbors told them Kevin Field was responsible for the stabbing, according to a printed police report. Source: Indianapolis Star
