DOWNEY — A teen driver may be left in grave condition after a car accident turned shooting that took place Monday evening.

Witnesses reported that a 19-year-old driver and his younger female passenger – believed to be his sister – were involved in a vehicle collision on Old River School Road before pulling over onto Quill Drive to exchange insurance information.

Witnesses say that the other driver involved exited his vehicle and fired several times, striking the teen in the head.

After being shot, the victim’s car traveled further down the street before crashing into a pole.

The condition of the driver is not clear; Heather Rallonza posted on a Facebook crime watch page that the victim underwent surgery and is currently in intensive care.

This information has not been confirmed by the Downey Police Department, which did not return a phone call seeking additional details.
