MIAMI BEACH, FL – The eastbound MacArthur Causeway reopened late last night after police investigated a possible road rage incident that involved reported gunfire.

Officers conducted a grid search to confirm no casings or firearms were on the causeway. It is believed fireworks may have been used during an apparent road rage incident.

At 10:45 pm, when the search concluded, the Westbound MacArthur Causeway was reopened. Eastbound traffic remained closed as officers investigate what transpired. The investigation wrapped up around midnight to allow for both directions to reopen.

No injuries have been reported.
