Orange County, FL (July 20, 2018) – Police are searching for a Nissan Altima that was shot and involved in a multi-vehicle crash in the area of the University of Central Florida. The accident happened yesterday afternoon.
The Florida Highway Patrol was working on an unrelated traffic accident when they noticed a white Altima and black SUV in a race on the Challenger Parkway. The trooper watched gunfire exchange between the two vehicles.
After the incident, the SUV lost control and crashed head-on into a vehicle in the northbound lane. The man in the SUV was taken to the hospital but died. There was a man inside the SUV as a passenger but he fled the scene after the accident occurred. Police were able to capture the man later on down the road.
Luckily, the other person who was struck head-on was not injured in the crash. Now, police are looking for the white Altima with bullet holes on the side. They believe that the occupants could be armed and dangerous.
