A Petersburg man was shot while driving on Interstate 85 near the Petersburg/Dinwiddie County line around midnight Saturday, and Virginia State Police are trying to figure out who did the shooting.

The 31-year-old man who was shot ended up crashing his vehicle into the jersey wall at the 64.4 mile marker, then fled his vehicle and ran to a nearby home located nearby.

He was transported to Southside Regional Hospital and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to VSP.

Anyone with information related to the shooting is encouraged to contact the Virginia State Police by calling 804-609-5656 or #77 on a cell phone or by emailing [email protected].
