A motorist was wounded Friday in a shooting on the San Diego (405) Freeway in the Sherman Oaks area, and an investigation was underway.
Officers were sent to the northbound freeway near Burbank Boulevard about 5 a.m. on a report that a vehicle had crashed, and later learned that the driver had been shot, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The wounded man was taken to a hospital in unknown condition, the CHP reported. No description was available of a suspect or vehicle.
All northbound lanes were closed while an investigation was conducted, but one lane was reopened a short time afterward. Some lanes remained blocked after daybreak, the CHP reported.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call the CHP West Valley Area office at 818-888-0980.
