CASTRO VALLEY — A man was shot while driving Tuesday evening on Interstate 580, the California Highway Patrol said.
Three other occupants of the vehicle were not injured.
They were able to drive to a medical center, where the CHP was notified. The man shot, a passenger in the vehicle, was transferred to a hospital with a wound that was not considered life-threatening. His age and place of residence were not released.
The shooting happened about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the eastbound lanes of I-580 near Fairmont Drive.
The man was wounded after someone in another vehicle on the freeway began shooting at the vehicle he and the others were in, CHP Officer Andrew Barclay said.
A motive for the shooting is under investigation. There have been numerous shootings on I-580 and other East Bay freeways this year, several of which left victims dead.
Investigators did not release a description of the shooter or the vehicle they were in.
