Man struck by bullet while driving on I-4, police say

A man was shot while driving on Interstate 4 near the John Young Parkway exit just after 6 p.m. today.

The man, who authorities say is in his 60s, was headed west when a bullet flew through his car window and pierced his arm.

He said he had no idea where the bullet came from, and investigators are trying to find witnesses. It is unclear if it was a stray bullet or if the man was targeted.

The victim managed to hold on to the wheel and alerted fire rescuers, who were already nearby helping drivers in an unrelated crash.

The man’s injuries were not life-threatening.
