A man who was allegedly shot while inside his vehicle drove himself to a B.C. hospital. 

Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a man with a gunshot wound who attended a hospital in another area just after 6 p.m. on Sunday.

According to police, the man sustained an injury to his hand after being shot while waiting in his car at a red light near Scott Road and 110 Avenue in Surrey. 

Cpl. Vanessa Munn says at the time of the shooting the victim was driving a 2016 white Honda Civic and travelling northbound on Scott Road.

“This shooting allegedly occurred on a busy roadway during the day and yet we did not receive any police reports,” says Munn in a statement.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as a dark sedan.

"Investigators are asking for anyone who was travelling along Scott Road near 110 Avenue on Sunday between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. who has dash camera footage to contact police," says Munn. 

The shooting is believed to be targeted, but the motive of the shooting remains under investigation. The man has since been released from hospital. 

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
