PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A man is fighting for his life after he was shot in the face in Philadelphia's Fern Rock section.
Police believe the victim tried to drive himself to the hospital Wednesday night, but wound up crashing his car near Einstein Medical Center.
Shortly before the crash, an officer noticed that the victim was driving erratically.
"After crashing into the sign, the driver exited and jumped into the police vehicle, and the officer realized that the male was bleeding heavily from the face," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The officer drove the 30-year-old victim to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police later located the shooting scene at 12th and Medary Avenue in Fern Rock.
