DETROIT (WWJ) - Michigan State Police are investigating the origin of a bullet that hit a vehicle on a freeway Sunday.

The incident occurred at 4:20 p.m. on March 17 on eastbound 1-94 near Telegraph, according to a Tweet from the MSP Second District.

The driver of the vehicle that was struck wasn’t hit by the bullet or injured.

An initial investigation suggested that the shot came from the westbound lanes and struck the vehicle in the eastbound lanes. An update provided by the MSP Second District said that it was possible the shot came from the neighborhood above the freeway as there was no evidence found on 94.

The freeway was closed while canine units and troopers searched for evidence.

“A bullet has no idea of its intended target," F/Lt Mike Shaw said. “We are fortunate this round only hit a vehicle.”

Authorities said there are no suspect leads at this time.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call 855-MICH-TIP (642-4847).
