A man was fatally shot while driving near downtown Dallas on Saturday morning, which led to a freeway being temporarily shut down, police say.
Officers responded to a shooting call about 5:25 a.m. on the eastbound side of East R. L. Thornton Freeway, just before the Harwood Street bridge near downtown and South Dallas, police said.
Police said a man was shot while driving, lost control of his vehicle and hit a sign. The man, whom police did not identify, died from his injury.
The Dallas County Sheriff’s office asked drivers to avoid the area on eastbound Interstate 30, or East R. L. Thornton Freeway, which was shut down Saturday morning while police investigated.
Authorities did not provide any additional details and said their investigation is ongoing.
