HOUSTON – Houston police are investigating after a man was found suffering from gunshot wounds inside a car that crashed outside a home in West Houston.

Surveillance video captured the moment the driver’s truck slammed into a parked vehicle along Briar Terrace Drive late Saturday night.

Homeowner Erika Rivera said the impact woke her and her husband.

“It was just a loud bang that happened. My husband’s the one that heard it,” Rivera said. “And so, we came outside and there was a truck that had hit our car.”

Rivera said at first, they thought the driver might be having a medical emergency and called 911.

“We didn’t even realize that there was gunshots on the glass until we got really kind of close to it,” she said. “We looked, and my husband’s like, he’s been shot.”
