A man sustained non-life-threatening injuries after he was shot while driving in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 in eastern Scarborough on Monday morning.

Toronto police said the victim was driving in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 near Meadowvale Road at about 9:21 a.m. when a black Toyota Corolla pulled alongside him.

The victim said a passenger in the back of the Corolla pointed a gun at him and fired at his vehicle multiple times before the suspect vehicle fled the scene.

The Corolla was last seen fleeing westbound on Highway 401.

Chopper 24 spotted a white SUV pulled alongside an ambulance on the shoulder, with numerous police vehicles behind it.

Officers were laying out evidence markers around the SUV.

The OPP closed Highway 401 collector lanes at Port Union Road.
