Houston police investigating alleged road rage gunfight in the middle of I-10 East Freeway

By Charly Edsitty
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A 21-year-old man is not expected to survive after being shot while driving on the I-10 East Freeway.

Investigators are calling it an act of road rage and are now questioning the other driver, who returned to the scene.

According to Houston police, both drivers involved fired shots, but the 21-year-old man, who was driving a pickup truck, was the only person struck.

The pickup truck driver — who had a woman in the passenger seat — ended up crashing in the eastbound lanes of the freeway near the Uvalde Road exit around 11 p.m. Thursday.

HPD said the passengers inside both vehicles called 911 after the exchange of gunfire.

A witness inside a dark-colored sedan involved in the shooting told HPD that her 26-year-old son was driving and her husband was in the passenger seat.

She said they were headed outbound on I-10 when a pickup truck with a man and woman inside came up behind them and started tailgating them.

Eventually, the pickup truck went around the sedan, and that’s when witnesses say the pickup truck driver rolled down the window and fired shots at the sedan.

The driver of the sedan returned fire, striking the 21-year-old truck driver and sparking the crash.
