A man was shot to death today on the San Diego (405) Freeway in Seal Beach.
The shooting was reported shortly after 6 p.m. on the northbound San Diego Freeway just south of the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The victim was the sole occupant of a Hyundai Elantra, which veered left and struck the front of a maroon Honda Accord on the passenger side, according to Duane Graham of the CHP's Westminster office. The one person in that vehicle wasn't hurt, he said.
Paramedics from the Orange County Fire Authority pronounced the shooting victim dead at the scene, said OCFA Capt. Thanh Nguyen.
The CHP issued a SigAlert shutting down all northbound lanes of the San Diego Freeway in the area and the Seal Beach Boulevard on-ramp.
While they don't have a plate number, officers are now looking for a white Mercedes-Benz 550 or S550 they believe was involved in the shooting, Graham said.
