Man hospitalized after being shot while driving truck in Northeast Philadelphia

A man was taken to the hospital after he was shot near the intersection of Torresdale Avenue and Auth Street Monday afternoon, according to Philadelphia police. 

The shooting happened at around 12:20 p.m. in the Frankford section of Northeast Philadelphia. 

Police sources told CBS News Philadelphia that a dark-colored SUV pulled up next to a white truck and opened fire, wounding the driver. Two of the truck's windows were shattered, and it was riddled with bullet holes.

CBS News Philadelphia on Monday afternoon called the phone number on the truck — a towing company — and the person on the other end of the line said the company has no comment and the driver is in critical condition at the hospital.

Philadelphia police haven't made any arrests, found any weapons on scene or shared the victim's medical condition yet.
