A person was wounded in a shooting early Saturday while driving on I-57 on the Far South Side.

The victim pulled off the expressway and stopped at a gas station near 111th and Ashland Avenue to call authorities and report the shooting, state police said. He was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound that was not thought to be life threatening.

Further details were not immediately available.
