The Mobile County Sheriff's Office is reporting that a man was shot as he attempted to drive around a vehicle in Semmes early Thursday morning.

MCSO Spokeswoman Lori Myles stated in a press release that at approximately 5:50 a.m. the Sheriff's Office was contacted about a man who was shot while driving on Highway 98.

The man had driven himself to the MCSO's north side substation on Moffett Road after the incident.

Later, deputies took the man's account of what happened at a local hospital. He told police that he left his home earlier that morning for work and made his regular stop on Moffett Road for a cup of coffee.

After purchasing his coffee he got into his vehicle and began driving east on Highway 98. As he approached Ed George Road, a white vehicle that was in front of him began to slow down and came to a complete stop in the middle of the road.

The man said he blew his horn and began going around the vehicle when he heard glass break and realized he had been shot.

He immediately accelerated away from the white vehicle and drove to the Sheriff's Office for assistance.

The MCSO is looking for anyone who might have any information about this incident. The victim described the vehicle as a white 4-door sedan with tinted windows.

Anyone can call the Mobile County Sheriff's Office with information at 251-574-8633.
