5 hurt in Stoughton shooting and crash
STOUGHTON - Police investigating a serious car crash in Stoughton Wednesday night discovered a person in one of the vehicles had been shot.
The crash happened at the intersection of Plain Street and West Street at about 9:15 p.m. Police said a person in a white Cadillac SUV had a gunshot wound. That person was shot by someone in another vehicle.
Police said it appears that all of the gunfire came from a black vehicle. A white pickup truck was also involved in the crash but no one in the vehicle was shot.
"We believe that it was one direction, it was exchanged from one vehicle to another," Stoughton Police Deputy Chief Brian Holmes said.
The person who was shot was taken to Boston Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
"We're working to determine exactly where this took place," Holmes said.
Four other people involved in the crash were taken to hospitals. Video from the scene shows a white pickup truck with front end damage and a black sedan off the road on the grass.
Holmes said the incident is under investigation and there is no threat to the public.
A neighbor's security camera captured the sound of gunfire in the area.
Police are working to determine if this was possibly a case of road rage.
