One person hospitalized in I-680 shooting in Alamo.

ALAMO, Calif. - The driver of a Tesla 3 was taken to the hospital after being injured after a highway shooting in the East Bay, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Sgt. Andrew Barclay said that officers were called out on Thursday at about 12:30 a.m. in Alamo on northbound I-680 near Stone Valley Road after someone reported a shooting.

When officers arrived, they learned that someone shot at the Tesla, and then shot at the driver who got out of the car and was walking on Stone Valley Road.

The Tesla driver was struck in the head by a bullet, Barclay said, but officers were still able to speak with him.

He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.

Barclay did not state either way whether the shooter and the Tesla driver knew each other, or whether this was a targeted shooting or not. 

The CHP also did not provide any suspect information. 

Anyone with information or who may have been in the area at the time of the incident is asked to call the CHP investigative tipline at (707) 917-4491.
