COLUMBUS – A 40-year-old woman was recovering from her injuries after police say she was shot during a road rage incident on a downtown Columbus interstate Monday night.
A passenger in the woman’s vehicle who was not injured told officers that a four-door car was driving recklessly while it was behind their vehicle in the area of I-670 and Neil Avenue just before 8:30 p.m. when the driver of the car stuck a gun out of the window and fired at their vehicle, striking it once in the rear, Felony Assault Unit Det. David Younker said.
The passenger told investigators that the bullet went through the back seat and the driver’s seat striking the driver in the back.
The victims flagged officers down in the southbound lanes of state Route 315 near the W. Town Street exit and the injured driver was taken to a hospital where she as listed in stable condition and is expected to recover from her injuries, Younker said.
The passenger was uninjured.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Younker at 614-645-4133 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477).
