Police are investigating a potential road rage shooting after a crash on North Davis Highway near Interstate 10 on Tuesday afternoon.

Escambia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the road rage incident at about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the agency's online dispatch logs.

A 2009 Toyota Tacoma rear-ended a 2010 Ford Escape in the northbound lane of Davis Highway, according to a press release from the Florida Highway Patrol.

The driver of the Tacoma, described as "an older Hispanic male," got into an altercation with the driver of the Escape, identified as a 67-year-old Alabama man.

A passerby attempted to subdue the unknown driver of the Tacoma when the driver pulled out a gun and fired "numerous rounds" at the scene.

No one was shot or injured by the gunfire, according to the FHP release.

The unknown driver fled the scene and caused another minor crash.

ECSO is investigating the shooting while the FHP is investigating the crashes.

An ECSO spokesperson could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Police are still searching for the driver of the Tacoma.
