FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - State police are investigating a shooting that happened on I-696 near Farmington Road on Tuesday.

The incident happened at about 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 13. 

The caller told MSP that he was in the middle left lane, with a white Dodge Ram 2500 pickup in front of him and a red Equinox in the left lane, and as they were heading westbound on I-696 approaching the Farmington Road overpass, the Ram abruptly changed lanes and got in front of the Equinox.

Right after this happened, the caller reported hearing popping sounds, which sounded like metal striking metal.
