One person was killed when a group of men tried to steal a boat while driving down a freeway, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Houston police said three men in a car tried to steal a boat that a man was hauling with his pickup truck on Interstate 45 at about 1 a.m.

Investigators said the men in the car opened fire on the man in the pickup truck. The man in the pickup truck returned fire, officials said.

One of the men inside the car was killed. The driver of the car stopped at a gas station on North Shepherd Drive for help.

The driver of the pickup truck lost control and ended up a field. There were fish in the boat because the man was returning from a fishing trip at Lake Conroe.
