Police have confirmed that there was an initial crash involving the blue SUV (at first believed to be an Escalade but now believed to be a Chevy Tahoe) at North Collins Street and Cantor Drive, just south of the second accident scene.
Sgt. Christopher Cook said the blue SUV fled north on Collins after that crash, followed by multiple vehicles whose drivers were trying to get a license plate. The blue SUV, traveling at a high rate of speed, rear-ended a gray Dodge pickup stopped at Brown Boulevard.
One person in the pickup was killed, and eight vehicles were eventually involved in the chain-reaction crash, Cook said.
The damaged SUV ended up in the southbound lanes. At some point, Cook said, "a young man walked up to the driver's side of the SUV and was shot."
Cook said investigators aren't sure whether the victim emerged from a vehicle or was a bystander who just walked up to try to help. Several apartments, businesses and a golf course surround the intersection.
"The big question is why this happened," he said. "Whether it was road rage or something else, we don't know. We're still looking at possible motives."

LOL. I wish. I’d fire all the hippies.
I’ll say what I like, Noob. And I am amused by the Amish comment, whether others are or not.
Well, I treat it as a twofer— I get pick up some groceries and visit the circus weekly.
