When troopers arrived, they found a 2009 white Acura TL abandoned in the right lane with heavy rear-end damage and multiple bullet holes throughout the vehicle.
Several yards behind the Acura was a 1984 red Ford Mustang that also sustained heavy front-end damage and several bullet holes to the front windshield.

According to police, the driver of the Mustang suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital for evaluation and treatment. A passenger in the Mustang was also taken to the hospital for treatment.
It's unclear if Zeallor was the driver or the passenger.
A GoFundMe page has been launched to raise funds for the family after Zeallor's death.
Julia Johnson is organizing the fundraiser on behalf of Denise Donahue and her family.
So far, more than $17,000 has been raised for an $18,000 goal.
Johnson said that Donahue's only child lost his life as an innocent bystander in the shooting.
She said Zeallor helped save four organ recipients with his donation.
"As you can imagine, this is an extremely overwhelming time for the family," Johnson said. "Although they plan to continue honoring his life in other ways in the future, this fundraiser is intended to provide a sheer sense of security while the family continues to process this loss."
She said a food train has also been started for the family over the next couple of weeks.
Police later learned the driver of the Acura was picked up from the scene and driven to Temple University Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to his upper left leg.
State police believe a third vehicle was involved in this incident and fled the scene before police responded.
This incident is being treated as a homicide, authorities said.
Anyone with information should contact Pennsylvania State Police at 215-452-5216.
