peninsula. northbound 101, right around woodside or marsh, just got an update on that location. vehicle flipped over on its roof in the left-hand lane and it's strange, the driver of the vehicle got out, jumped the center divide and took off and jumped a fence as well. they clearly fled the scene. we had a little bit of red as you came off of 84. looks like it's not too bad at the moment. we'll look at live traffic cameras next. two people shot, interstate 80 shut down and people backed up as you can see here for hours. >> the question this morning, what are we going to do to stop the trend of highway shootings? abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield live at chp in martinez. >> reporter: that's a question that the chp has faced for more than a year as these highway shootings keep happening. this is the ninth one this year. last year, there were about 43 highway shootings. this one happened on eastbound interstate 80 and it forced the shutdown of all those lanes for

five hours. this was near the san pablo avenue exit in richmond at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. there were two people inside a minivan who were shot by someone who was in a car that pulled up next to them. one victim had to be air lifted to the hospital with critical injuries. the chp thinks that these victims were targeted. >> we don't believe this is a random shooting so right now we don't believe there's any danger to the public but we want people to be a good witness. if you see something, say something. >> reporter: witnesses describe the car carrying the shooter as a silver dodge charger, and police later stopped a charger on 17th street in richmond and took three men into custody in connection with the shootings. these highway shootings don't often result in any arrests. chp says the difference in this one was good information from witnesses. so they say they really do rely on the public for these cases, these shootings happen so
