Oregon State Police report that a female motorist was struck by a bullet around 9:45 Wednesday night while driving northbound on I-5 between Central Point and Gold Hill.
Since mid-May, authorities say, “several” vehicles have been hit by bullets while driving along Interstate 5 in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson Counties. Until Wednesday night, there had been no injuries.
The victim was transported to the hospital, treated and released. No further information has been made available.
