Harris County sheriff's deputies were interviewing the driver and searching the area for surveillance video.
The shooting happened somewhere along the main lanes of the Grand Parkway around 12:30 a.m. Thursday, HCSO said.
The driver told deputies someone in a dark-colored car sped by and fired a shot, striking the 23-year-old front seat passenger.
That's when the driver came to a stop and got out to flag down other drivers for help.

The passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said it's unclear if road rage sparked the shooting. They were looking for video of the incident in the area.
"It's a pretty dark stretch of highway out here. We don't have a lot of businesses," Sgt. Ben Beall said. "We will be back out here in the morning to see if we can recover any video."
