File Photo

A dispute between drivers which one person said resulted in a car-to-car gunfight on the Central Lafayette onramp to Highway 24 brought police on the run and traffic to a slow crawl Wednesday.

The incident was reported at approximately 11 a.m. with a witness reporting the occupants of a Lexus sedan and a Chevy Impala exchanging shots after a collision on the on-ramp. It was not immediately known if anyone in either car or bystander vehicle was hit.

California Highway Patrol officers responded to the area and reportedly conducted a search for shell casings and other potential victims but their findings were not immediately known.

      I’m unclear if you are serious.

      Wouldn’t it be great if it actually was you and by signing in and leaving this message they could track you down and arrest you? Maybe this only happens in movies.
