A man was shot when he got out of his car to exchange information following a collision near Bay Road and Hedge Road in Menlo Park, police said.
The shots came from a car that drove away and hasn’t been located. The victim, a 47-year-old San Mateo man, is in the hospital.
It all began at 8:39 p.m. Thursday when police responded to several calls about gunshots in the area. When officers arrived, they found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers immediately rendered medical aid until they were relieved by Menlo Park firefighter paramedics.
Police believe the shooting occurred after a non-injury vehicle collision. When the victim exited his vehicle to exchange information, one of the occupants of the other vehicle opened fire, striking the victim, police said.
The suspect vehicle was described as a small white car that fled in an unknown direction and remains outstanding.
The victim’s vehicle was also occupied by three juveniles between the ages of 8 and 14. None of them were injured. The victim and all three juveniles are residents of San Mateo.
