An Acura sedan was riddled with bullets after a road rage incident Monday in Deltona and the Florida Highway Patrol is asking for the public's help.
The shooting happened about 9:10 p.m in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 4 between mile markers 105 and 108 in Deltona, according to the FHP.
The driver of a dark-colored sedan became involved with a 62-year-old man driving a blue Acura TSX, the FHP stated. As the Acura driver tried to "separate himself" from the sedan, the shooter opened fire, according to the FHP.
