1 shot in Fort Worth road rage incident

A shooting along East Loop 820 in Fort Worth caused a multi-vehicle crash.

FORT WORTH, Texas - A shooting along East Loop 820 in Fort Worth caused a multi-vehicle crash.

What we know:

It happened around 7 p.m. on Thursday on southbound East Loop 820 near Sun Valley Drive.

Fort Worth police said two vehicles appeared to be chasing each other on the freeway, and shots were fired. Multiple vehicles crashed, with one overturning.

One person was hit by the gunfire and taken to the hospital.

The wounded driver survived, and no one has been arrested for what police describe as a "road rage shooting."

It appears there were no passengers, only drivers, in the two cars, according to police.

The driver of the black Kia, who was shot in the back, crashed. This caused a third vehicle, a Chevy Malibu, not involved in the road rage, to crash and roll over. 

As for the vehicle where the gunfire came from, police do not have a description to share, but hope someone who does will speak up.

What they're saying:

"We have someone that was shot, so we’re asking anyone to please come forward, tell us what you saw," said officer Daniel Segura with the Fort Worth Police Department.

"More traffic on the freeways because of the holidays, vacations, things like that, and adding road rage and racing or chasing each other, is not a good combination to have," said Segura.

North Texas road rage shootings

This is at least the third reported road rage shooting in North Texas in less than a week. 

Timeline:

It was last Friday when police in Lake Worth say a woman shot at another woman in an act of road rage.

Then, on Sunday, apparently two men got into an argument and that led to a road rage shooting in the city of Burleson. Police say the shooter in that case had two young children in his car. 

Keep in mind this all happening in what officials describe as one of the busiest times of year for people to be out on the roads.

What we don't know:

No details about the victim’s identity or medical condition were released.

There’s also no word on the suspect.
