Preliminary information indicates this was a possible road-rage incident, troopers said.
During his interview with troopers, Donald said he was driving to Florida from his job in Texas because he believed someone there was trying to kill him.
He said he shot the Impala because he believed someone started shooting at him on the turnpike, according to his arrest report.
Troopers found a handgun, a Beretta 9 mm, in Donald's 2003 Toyota Camry, officials said.
Donald is currently being held in the Lake County Jail.
