TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — An investigation was launched Monday after Florida Highway Patrol troopers said an unknown assailant shot at a driver on I-275 in Hillsborough County.

Troopers said the shooting happened shortly after 5 p.m. and followed a series of crashes.

The victim, a 63-year-old Lutz woman, was traveling south on the interstate near milepost 56 when officials said she suffered a medical emergency and lost control of her vehicle.

Her GMC Yukon left the roadway and struck the 57 milepost road sign, the FHP reported.

Troopers said the woman was able to get back on the interstate but collided with another vehicle shortly after. The car was described as a silver or white mid-sized sport utility vehicle.

After the second ******, authorities said someone opened fire, sending a bullet into the front driver’s side window of the woman’s GMC Yukon.

Troopers said they found the 63-year-old woman bleeding profusely and applied life-saving measures to stop the bleeding.

It was later determined that the woman’s injuries were from the shattered glass.

Officials said the bullet went through the GMC Yukon’s front windshield. Portions of the expended round were found in the rear seat of the car.

The unknown assailant fled the scene immediately after the shooting, authorities reported.

No further information was immediately available.

The Florida Highway Patrol is asking anyone with information on the incident to call *FHP (*347) or Crime Stoppers at **TIPS.
