A man was shot in the thigh while west driving on Interstate 4 near Deltona early Saturday morning, authorities said.

The man told investigators that he was headed west on I-4 around 1:36 a.m. when he approached another car.

“He said he followed it because it was going fast,” Volusia County Sheriff’s spokesman Andrew Gant wrote in a press release. “Eventually, the driver of the other car drove next to him for a short distance then shot an unknown firearm out the window striking the victim's vehicle several times.”

The bullet broke the victim’s femur and the unidentified victim was transported to Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford for treatment. He is listed in stable condition, Gant said.
