1970s Action/Crime Movie with Shootouts, Lots of Cars, and a Guy with a Rifle Gets Crushed By His Own Car
I remember seeing an action sequence from movie that appeared to be from the 70s that involved lots of criminals prepared for a shootout. There was a guy with a rifle under his own car (using it as "cover") on the highway or freeway and was firing long-distance shots at other cars, but opposing people shot his tires and crushed him, spewing blood out of his mouth.
Does anyone remember this cool movie? Thanks very much.

I think it might be the movie Cannonball from 1976.

I don't think this is right, since it is not exactly what you are describing, but I will mention it. The climax of The Border has Jack Nicholson killing the villain by shooting out the big tire of the construction vehicle the shooter is under. Since the shootout took place in a deserted construction zone rather than a freeway, this seems like a real long shot. Best of luck with your search.
