A woman is in the hospital after she was shot at early Monday while driving on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade County, police say.
The shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-95 in the area of Northwest 103rd Street, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The car’s driver was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center, according to Miami-Dade police, which is taking the lead in the investigation.
Miami-Dade police had mistakenly reported at first that the woman had died in the hospital. On Monday afternoon, they said they learned she was still alive, but did not have a condition.
