Suspected road-rage shooting shuts down 15 Freeway in San Bernardino County

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. - A shooting on the 15 Freeway in San Bernardino County caused major traffic delays Monday, according to the California Highway Patrol. 

The shooting – believed to have stemmed from a road-rage incident – was reported around 9:30 a.m. on the southbound 15 Freeway south of Oak Hill Road, north of the 138 Freeway. According to CHP, a driver of a 2000s Volvo XC70 SUV shot at a Ford F-150 pickup truck, hitting the driver of that car.

The shooting then led to the Ford pickup truck driver following the Volvo before the two cars hit each other, and then the Volvo hit an innocent driver of a Toyota Tacoma. The Toyota pickup truck ended up flipping over as a result of the crash.

The shooting suspect inside the Volvo SUV took off from the scene, and they remain on the run as of October 28.

The Ford pickup truck driver suffered a leg injury from the entire ordeal, and is expected to survive. The innocent person inside the Toyota truck that flipped over is also expected to survive after suffering minor injuries, CHP said.

Information on a suspect or suspect vehicle was not immediately released. 

SkyFOX over the scene showed the two trucks with significant front-end damage and broken windows. 

Vehicles were seen on the southbound lanes at a complete standstill for miles as traffic was diverted off at Ranchero for several hours. 

All southbound lanes of the 15 Freeway reopened just before 2 p.m.
