The California Highway Patrol closed the eastbound lanes of the 105 Freeway in South Los Angeles after a man was critically wounded in a shooting.
CHP closed the freeway west of Vermont Avenue at about 4:40 p.m. as officers canvassed the roadway for evidence. It's unclear when the lanes will be reopened.
The shooting happened at about 1:46 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Paramedics took one person to the hospital. CHP investigators said the man was in critical condition.
CHP said officers responded to the scene after drivers reported a car blocking lanes on the freeway. When officers arrived, they realized that the man had been shot while he was in his car.
Aerial footage showed the sedan parked next to the center divider, with at least one shattered window.
Detectives are still searching for the suspect and the suspect's vehicle.
