NEW CASTLE, Pa. (KDKA) - A man is dead and another was taken to the hospital after shots were fired and two cars crashed in New Castle.

Police say 31-year-old An-Tyne Johnson of New Castle was killed when someone in another car shot into his car as he was driving on North Liberty Street.

Police tell KDKA Johnson eventually went down a hillside, crashed into a utility pole and flipped the car on its roof. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the other car was also shot and taken to the hospital.

Police say it appears this was a result of an ongoing feud.

"We believe this incident stems from an incident that happened several years ago, a fight that happened several years ago," said Chief Robert Salem.

Salem isn't saying if Johnson died from the shooting or the crash.

Police are still working to figure out what happened. Anyone with information is asked to call 724-656-3588 or leave a tip online.
