Two people were shot in what troopers believe was a road rage incident Saturday morning, according to reports.
The incident shut down the southbound lanes of Florida’s Turnpike near Winter Garden, north of the exit to Colonial Drive, while Florida Highway Patrol troopers investigated, according to WFTV.
Someone in a Toyota Camry shot a man and woman in a Chevrolet Impala around 10:15 a.m. Saturday, troopers told WFTV.
Both people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center to be treated for gunshot wounds, but their conditions were not immediately known, according to ClickOrlando.com.
