Jacksonville, FL — A man is recovering from injuries after being shot by a driver on U.S. 17 in Fleming Island in what may be a road rage encounter with another driver.
Lanes of U.S. 17 reopened just after 10am, hours after the shooting event.
Deputies had been searching for the driver of a white truck, possibly an F-250 commercial-style truck that may have a red topper. The truck may have damage from a traffic crash. The driver is suspected of shooting at a vehicle on U.S. 17.
Just before 1PM, CCSO confirmed that person had been identified, and is in custody.
One person sustained non-life threatening injuries after being shot in the arm. A second person in the vehicle was not wounded.
“We believe at this point that there was some type of an incident between the two, possibly a traffic crash. We’re working on that right now with the victim obviously receiving medical treatment”, said Deputy Chris Padgett, Public Information Officer.
