JERSEY CITY -- A 32-year-old man was shot at and crashed his car on Sunday evening after a road rage dispute, police said.

The victim was not hit by the gunfire but was treated at a local hospital for injuries that were not considered life threatening, according to officials.

Police are now working to piece together the details surrounding a series of crashes in a Greenville neighborhood.

The 32-year-old told police he was sitting in his Buick when he was involved in a verbal dispute with a man driving a Cadillac. The driver of the Cadillac fired shots at the victim, who crashed his Buick into a pole near Linden and Garfield avenues, police said.

Around the same time, a red car nearly crashed into a home at the corner of Lembeck and Garfield avenues. Another utility pole was knocked over and the driver of that fled the scene, officials said.

Pieces of car debris and traffic light pieces still littered covered the front of the home that was nearly hit on Monday afternoon. The front gate was also damaged.

Investigators are still working to determine if and how the crashes are related. No arrests have been made.
