A rollover crash that caused a major backup on Interstate 35E in Dallas Monday morning was preceded by a shooting involving passengers in one of the vehicles, police say.
Dallas police said a witness told them a silver Dodge Challenger rear-ended a pickup truck and caused it to roll over around 3:45 a.m. Monday near I-35E and Storey Lane.
Two of the people in the Challenger were involved in an altercation prior to the crash in which gunshots were fired, police said. The people in the Challenger were fleeing the shooter, when they came under fire again and crash into the pickup.
No one involved in the crash was struck by gunshots, but some received injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, police said.
Police said they did not have a suspect or suspect vehicle as of Monday afternoon.
