Man seriously wounded in L.A. freeway shooting

A man was seriously injured Monday after being shot in the face by another motorist while driving on a freeway, police said.

The victim, whose name was not released, was driving on the 110 Freeway south of downtown at around 3:50 a.m. when the gunman — possibly in a black SUV — fired at him, said Kevin Maiberger, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman.

The victim was struck in the jaw and taken to California Hospital Medical Center in serious condition. A passenger in the vehicle was not hit.

Officials believe road rage may have been the motive for the shooting, which remains under investigation.
