It started with an unsafe lane change and quickly escalated into a shooting on a Mississauga highway yesterday afternoon.

A 23-year-old Toronto man was driving a delivery van on Hwy. 401 westbound onto the ramp at Mavis Rd. when the driver of a tractor-trailer pulled in front of him without signalling, forcing him over, he told police.

He caught up with the tractor-trailer, pulled up beside him and began an ill-advised confrontation.

"(It) started with back and forth gestures and yelling and screaming at each other through the window," Woodford said.

The truck driver rolled his passenger side window down, pulled out a handgun and shot at the man, police were told.

"It didn't look like it hit anything that we can see on the delivery van," Woodford said.

The van driver pulled over and called police.

About a half hour later, police stopped a 34-year-old trucker from Detroit, in the Cambridge area.
