SALISBURY, N.C. (WBTV) - An incident that began on Saturday night just after 7:00 p.m. ended after two cars chased each other with one occupant firing at the other through Salisbury, onto I-85, and back into Salisbury.

According to the police report, a 19-year-old man had stopped his car on E. Bank St. near Clay St. When he got out, a person from another car fired shots at the man. The victim was not hit, and managed to get back into his car to leave the scene. The man with the gun then followed the victim.

Police say the two drove through town with an occupant of one car firing at the other. At one point they both were on I-85 as the alleged victim tried to get away. Police say one bullet hit a tractor-trailer that was on the interstate at the time. The truck driver was not injured.

Eventually the chase ended on N. Main St. near 15th St. Law enforcement from multiple agencies were able to stop the car belonging to the person who fired the first shots. Police say there were four people in the car and that they all jumped and ran. Three were eventually apprehended, and two of them were charged.

One of the passengers, Bradford Bennett, was charged with resisting arrest. Darlo Henrico Smith was charged with reckless driving, and speeding to elude arrest.
