A woman was rushed to hospital on Tuesday evening after she was shot while riding in a car on the Palmetto Expressway in Miami Gardens.
It happened in the eastbound lanes of State Road 826 near NW 47 Avenue around 9 p.m.
The woman was sitting in the front passenger seat of a white Hyundai when someone in a black mid-sized sedan fired on the car, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The woman, who was hit in the chest, was taken to the Ryder Trauma with what the FHP said were non-life threatening injuries.
The eastbound lanes of the highway were shut down for approximately two hours for the shooting investigation. They have since re-opened.
The FHP said shooter's vehicle was possibly a black Chevy Malibu with one blue fog light.
