Lenexa police are investigating after a man said he was shot while driving on Interstate 35 Friday night.

Just after 8:20 p.m. Friday, the Lenexa Police Department posted on Twitter that Northbound I-35 traffic was being diverted to Interstate 435 after a man said he’d been shot by someone on a motorcycle also driving northbound on I-35 near I-435.

The shooting victim, police said, drove home before calling 911. His injuries were not life-threatening.

No suspect information was immediately available.
