Police are searching for a driver involved in a shooting on I-76 in Philadelphia Saturday night.

At approximately 4:48 a.m., police received a report of a shooting on I-76 eastbound near Passyunk Avenue, according to the police.

A driver in a minivan allegedly opened fire at another car in what police believe was a road rage shooting.

The victim told police she had honked her horn at a dark colored minivan in front of
her as she was entering the I-76 eastbound on-ramp from Grays Ferry Avenue.

The minivan began driving erratically and got behind the victim’s car as she entered I-76 eastbound. As the victim was traveling along I-76, right before the Passyunk exit, the dark colored minivan pulled along the driver-side of the victim’s car and fired two shots striking their car, according to investigators.

The driver and passenger were not injured.

The minivan quickly took the 347B exit and continued on I-76 eastbound towards the Walt Whitman Bridge.

The suspect's vehicle is described as a dark minivan with a broken passenger-side rear taillight,
and is also missing the rear windshield that is covered with a black tarp.

Police are currently investigating this incident.
