A man was shot Wednesday near Tracy and two cars crashed in what was described as a possible road rage incident.

Several 911 calls around 4 p.m. alerted sheriff’s deputies to a disturbance with gunshots near Tracy Boulevard and Howard Road, in agricultural land 7 miles north of Interstate 205, the San Joaquin County sheriff’s office said.

Callers said a black car had crashed into a fence and that its driver– the wounded man — was fleeing on foot. The witnesses could not say whether the shooting happened before or after the crash.

The alleged shooter fled north on Tracy Boulevard in a silver Ford Taurus.

Deputies found the Taurus crashed in a ditch about two miles north but did not find the suspect.

The wounded man, described only as “possibly in his 20s or 30s,” was taken to a hospital with what were thought to be non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
