Officers are searching for a truck driver suspected of shooting and killing another truck driver while they were driving on a Jacksonville interstate on Saturday.
Officers said the driver of a dull orange semi truck with a white trailer on the back began tailgating another semi after it changed lanes on I-10.
The driver of the orange semi pulled alongside the truck, bumped it and opened fire at the driver.
The driver was shot and veered off I-10 into the woods between the Cecil Commerce Parkway and Chaffee Road.
Officers said the man in his 40s was found dead in his cab.
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office are now searching for a man with a beard who was driving an early- to mid-2000s truck with an orange cab.
Florida Highway Patrol and Florida Department of Law Enforcement were also investigating.
