Police Investigating High-Speed Road Rage Shooting Incident in Bay City Area
BAY CITY, Mich. — A violent road rage incident escalated into a multi-victim shooting Monday evening, as two vehicles reportedly exchanged gunfire while speeding into Bay City from neighboring Saginaw County.
The confrontation ended near a McDonald’s on M-15 and 22nd Street, where first responders located multiple victims and a heavily damaged vehicle.
At approximately 7:19 p.m., authorities began receiving numerous 911 calls reporting two vehicles involved in a high-speed rolling gun battle, traveling at speeds up to 115 mph.
Witnesses described a white SUV and a black sedan traveling from Saginaw County into Bay County, discharging firearms at each other—possibly automatic weapons, based on the volume and sound of the gunfire.
Bay City Police confirmed that officers heard automatic weapon fire along Broadway Avenue as the vehicles entered the city limits.
The vehicles continued east on 22nd Street, with the white SUV coming to a stop in the parking lot of the McDonald’s at M-15 and 22nd Street.
Police arrived on scene shortly after to find the white SUV with multiple windows blown out and three gunshot victims nearby.
Immediate medical aid was provided until emergency medical services arrived.
Meanwhile, the black sedan—described as having visible gunshot damage—fled the area southbound on M-15.
As of this report, the suspect vehicle remains at large, and authorities are actively searching the area.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic and terrifying.
One bystander noted the vehicles passed by “at an ungodly rate of speed,” while another described seeing people ducking for cover as the shots rang out.
Police from multiple jurisdictions, including Bay City and Saginaw County, are collaborating on the investigation.
Detectives are working to piece together surveillance footage and gather witness statements.
The motive behind the incident appears to be tied to an extreme case of road rage, though further details are still emerging.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, has dashcam footage, or has any information about the black sedan is urged to contact local law enforcement or Bay County Crime Stoppers.
This remains an active investigation.
Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
