The Pennsylvania State Police are investigating after a man riding a motorcycle, allegedly, fired 13 shots into a fellow motorist's vehicle on Sunday night, injuring the driver.
According to police, the incident that shut down I-95 for about an hour on Sunday night, began after a 35-year-old man from Lansdowne reportedly "accidently tapped" the rear-end of a white sport-style motorcycle that was headed northbound on I-95 near the Walt Whitman Bridge exit at about 8 p.m. on Sunday.
After that initial contact, police said that the rider on the motorcycle pulled back to the driver's side of the victims' vehicle and produced a handgun. Officials said the rider proceeded to fire 13 times into the vehicle, striking the male driver at least twice, before fleeing along the roadway at a high rate of speed.
After the shooting, the victim pulled off the road at Washington Avenue, and officials said, he flagged down a passing police vehicle and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
