A stretch of Interstate 85 near the Hillandale Road exit in Durham turned into the scene of a road-rage shooting on Saturday, with bullets flying but, fortunately, no one hurt. Durham police say officers responded to the area, started an investigation on the spot, and found that at least one vehicle had been left with damage. Now they want help from anyone who saw what happened.

What Drivers Should Keep In Mind
Authorities are reminding motorists to steer clear of confrontations on the road and, when it is safe to do so, to document dangerous driving from a distance instead of engaging with an aggressive driver.
