Fatal Highway Shootings.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities responding to reports of a rolled-over vehicle Sunday morning in the San Fernando Valley found the victim, Marlon Gordillo Sical, 20, in a crashed sedan, shot in the head, a fire official said.

Sical was found at about 8:15 a.m. on Highway 101 near the San Diego Freeway, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Cecil Manresa said.
Police believe Sical crashed the car after being shot, said Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman.

Authorities did not know what led to the shooting, however, and were trying to establish exactly where it occurred. The car crashed near a freeway onramp, so it is possible the victim was shot on a surface street and then drove onto the highway, Eisenman said.

Meanwhile, about 30 miles southwest in Long Beach, police were investigating a second freeway shooting that left a man hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim told officers he was driving north on the 710 Freeway on Saturday evening when another motorist shot at him, Long Beach police Officer Jackie Bezart said. The victim was drove off the freeway and phoned for help, she said.

The man characterized the shooting as a road-rage incident, Bezart said.
The shootings were the latest in a string of Southern California freeway shootings stretching back several weeks.
