Two drivers were involved in a road-rage incident on Interstate 64 in Waynesboro Wednesday resulting in an exchange of gunfire in the travel lane.

The road-rage shooting occurred at approximately 5:03 p.m. yesterday on I-64 eastbound near exit 96.

According to police, a black Genesis sedan travelling eastbound cut off a white truck, possibly identified a Toyota with large tires.
