Driver shot in Liberty Tunnel
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities in western Pennsylvania say a driver was hit by gunfire from another vehicle in a tunnel in Pittsburgh.
Police said an officer near the entrance of the Liberty Tunnel at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday heard multiple shots fired and found a crashed car struck multiple times by bullets.
Paramedics on the scene were treating the male driver who had been struck multiple times. He was taken to UPMC Mercy in stable condition.
Two other vehicles were also damaged in the crash in the tunnel, which links Pittsburgh with its southern suburbs.
Police said a white sedan is believed to have fired several shots at the first car before fleeing across the Liberty bridge.
Officials are seeking the vehicle, which is believed to have damage from collisions inside the tunnel.
